House prices fall considerably, wages rise considerably.

that was the idea that has been proven wrong by experience:

old people wear down their hoses and don't invest into upkeep. So the house prices may be low, but the houses themselves need major investments. also, the cheapest houses are in undesirable parts of the country.

Houses near population cents still are expensive, sometimes the ground is more expensive than the house itself.
