•Cooling prices. Home prices, like stock prices, don't normally double in a year or two. Typically, home prices rise 1 or 2 percentage points above inflation, currently running at 3.1%.

If this was a big concern just sell your property.

Good advice. There are two things to consider, maximizing the value of your properties and how you finance them.

Paying off your mortgage really is a financing decision that has little to do with their value (in most cases). Property goes up, down, doesn't matter. What matters is whether you want to tie up X amount of money financing it at a Y interest rate, or put that money in an alternative investment at what you think is a better return.
