The relationship between home equity and home prices can be seen clearly in the FHFA house price index for Bend. When home prices are high relative to homeowners' equity stake in their property (as was the case in December 2005), there is less incentive for homeowners to sell because they would not be able to recoup their investment through sale proceeds alone. On the other hand, when homes are more affordable relative to homeowners' equity stake (as was the case in December 2011), there is more incentive for homeowners to sell as they would be able to pocket a larger portion of their investment through sale proceeds than if they waited until prices increased again later on down the road
