I would be fine if my home value took a nosedive too... the realistic problem though is for people who are mortgaged at the higher amount on a variable rate, or even a fixed rate that will have to be redone in the next few years, and if their house price drops they'll have little to no equity. So if you can't afford the higher interest rate loan renewal, and you can't sell...
