One reading

Rising property values can strengthen the finances of existing owners and reflect demand.

Another reading

Higher prices and rents can worsen affordability for renters and first-time buyers when earnings do not keep pace.

What the data cannot prove: a movement does not by itself identify its cause or show that every person experienced the same outcome.
