It's pretty rare to see prices go down. I think it's most likely when the market really lurches due to some economic shocks and there is a short term over supply of housing, but the market corrects pretty quickly. What is more common in a healthy housing market with lots of vacancy is that prices continue to go up, but below inflation.
