A House as a Great Investment?

I am always surprised to see the enthusiasm people exhibit when they hear that housing prices are rising, to me this is 100% bad news.
I hear remarks all the time like,

Housing prices are up 12% over last year, I am going to make a killing on this house when I sell in a year or two!

Let’s say you buy a house as a primary residence at $300K and are fortunate enough to see a 12% compound increase in the price of the house for 3 years in a row. So that makes the value of your house now an impressive $421K- wow $121K nice return, well worth celebration.
