What's the argument for negative interest rates having any impact on house prices? I would think it would be mostly linear compared to 2%, 1%, 0%, -1%, etc...

For example - if I have a 20 year mortgage on a $240,000 house @ 0%, I have to pay $1,000/month. If the interest rate is -1% then I have to pay ~$900/month. I don't know if that extra $100/month really moves the market on home prices that much.
