It kinda does to a certain extent, depending on how densely things can be built. When there's a townhouse available with double the floor area as a single family home for the same price, that's going to decrease demand for the single family house. But yeah it doesn't decrease demand a huge amount as most people still want to have a back yard if they can and banks will lend more for a standalone place because reasons.
