Yes but if prices rise, its 90-100% of the land price increase, and 0-10% of the house itself. That is land with all network connections and permit to build the house. It basically goes up only with material and labor costs.
House is often a necessary evil - its never what buyers imagine as ideal, but in comparison with going through the hell of building one's own (or also adding tearing down the old) its an acceptable compromise for many.
Life is too short, and no house is worth destroying a marriage.
