What does buying and selling a house in the same market actually mean?

In my country, the housing market is down. House values have dropped in some places up to 20% since end of 2021. People talk about how it doesn’t matter when upgrading a house as homeowners would be selling and buying in the same market. ELI5?

if you buy a house in 2000 worth 100k and sell in 2024 at 500k………you made 5x the money (without including repairs/insurance/interest payments)

you are now homeless

all other homes have appreciated…..so you can buy a house for 500k

are you better off??? no your house went up, and so did every other house
