Yes but it's a little more complicated than just rates. It's a multitude of factors including perceived worth, available cash, financing rules, supply, new construction costs, etc.

People need to be willing to sign their lives away to pay off houses, otherwise rates would also be strongly tied to the price of everything from cars to toothpaste (they are very loosely, but those things don't cost 3x what they did in 2014).
