Well, there is limited amount of resources. So when someone buys a big house, someone else must have a smaller house.

That's only true if your country is completely covered in houses up to the maximum possible height of buildings. I'm not aware of any such country (or even city or town -- possibly Singapore or Hong Kong come close).

You assume that limiting factor for houses is land, but in real world it's infrastructure, especially transportation.

Fine, housing and roads. I'm still wondering which country the OP lives in where both housing and infrastructure are so dense that "when someone buys a big house, someone else must have a smaller house."
