They actually think that they are "richer" with all their paper gains. For most home owners, all these paper gains mean nothing cos they can't sell their flats and stay on the streets.

On the other hand, whether a flat costs $300k or $450k makes a hell lot of difference for flat seekers like myself. Buying a more expensive flat means committing a larger percentage of my pay every month to the housing loan = less money for other purposes...

Sigh...
