Academic question: If house prices fall due to a central bank increasing the interest rate, who stands to benefit?

What are the implications for investors, developers (both of residential and commercial properties) and banks?

I am thinking that the developers will be the hardest hit, how would they be able to navigate the landscape?

Also, what would be the opportunities for investors?

Lastly, as less people will be able to afford mortgages due to the increase in rates, how do banks adjust their business strategies?
