The issue is that financing changes what is available in the marketplace for you to buy. There are cheap new cars that don't break down every year (ex. toyota hilux) that are not sold in the US. Because it's more profitable to finance you a 50k truck than a 20k truck.
The housing market works the same. If we didn't standardize fixed rate mortgages houses would be cheaper smaller and more available.
