As house prices drop, more people will try to buy full-sized single family homes and the least desirable houses fall faster. You could get a 10% drop in house prices, but these split lot houses could fall 50% or more, just like condo prices.

This happened during the housing crash of 2009. I know first hand, my own condo dropped by more than 50%, which I did a strategic default on.
