The reason the housing prices are based on "rental" prices is because 90% of major american cities have some form of rent control which sharply limits the price that rents can be raised per year on an occupied unit.

Actual housing costs are up 50% in most markets.

>Now I would add to that that housing prices are not a part of the CPI or PPI calculation, but some archaic way of calculating rent equivalent based on mortgage rates and not the real market place.
