When interest rates on mortgages are lower, doesn't the prices of homes increase to compensate (like what's happening right now)?

If interest rates decrease and home prices increase vs. interest rates increase but home prices decrease, then there is a point where the two will intersect, and there are many points around the intersection where the difference between the two is fairly insignificant.

How does the common expression go -- "The house always wins?"
