It certainly hurts homeowners who would be upside down on their mortgage, which would mostly be people who just bought a house and people with a 2nd mortgage. My house costing twice what it did when I bought it does literally nothing for me because so does every other house! I can't actually get anything from the increased "value". Actually, it mostly hurts me because I pay more in insurance and property taxes.
