Same boat. I did some investigation into historical interest rates vs. housing prices, and I learned that there's really only a weak correlation between housing prices and interest rates (and funnily enough, it's a positive correlation).

There’s too many confounding factors to drawn conclusions based on regressing interest rates vs home prices.

Interest rates are strongly correlated with government policy, which is crafted to respond to overall growth and inflation, which drive home prices.
