> More equity and interest is deductible.

It is much harder to deduct interest these days with the higher standard deduction. Interest deductions on a cheaper house might only a few years unless you have something else going on with your custom deductions.

The equity aspect is also questionable. Cheaper markets are cheap for a reason, and while they might hit a growth spurt, it is far from guaranteed. A booming market with high prices might also continue to...boom even more. Anyways, the market is actually efficient, you can't find a loophole that everyone else is missing.
