If someone says you are contributing to the mistreatment of animals by buying fur coats, they are not implying that you personally skinned a beaver/fox/what-have-you. Although your purchase of a house does not necessarily directly cause someone else to get ousted, it is still contributing to the problem of displacement, because through a sequence of events it does cause someone to get displaced when their landlord says, "I can rent this place out for 4 times the amount you're paying, so get out."
