BusinessWeek quoted Professor Richard Green about the impact of rising home prices on homeowners. If prices were to go up everywhere, it wouldn't help the homeowner, since he or she couldn't afford to buy a new home in the same market, Green explained. "The only way you can benefit is if you sold a house in California in 2006 and moved to Alabama." Green is director and chair of the USC Lusk Center for Real Estate.
