meaning if a $900k home drops in price say $100k, a current home worth $600k could drop $100k as well so i'd still be paying around $300k to 'upgrade'?

i know 1 type of home could depreciate/appreciate faster than the other...but am i over simplifying it?
I imagine that the majority of first-time home owners in Vancouver have condos (or some other type of strata property) which will likely suffer decreases more acutely than detached homes.
