Most people who own are moderately content for their house to stay somewhat stable in price.

They definitely don't want it to go down, especially below the loan amount; but tools like Zillow make it way too easy to book "paper profits".

If you bought for $100k and later noticed Zillow say your house as $250k, and now it's saying $200k you can feel like you lost out even though you're still "up" - something that was more difficult before as you'd have to try to compare similar homes for sale.
