Another Wizard smoke and mirror core CPI trick, housing equivalent rents, is now disappearing:
Report: Lower vacancies lift rents

Careful
I remember rants about corn and beans all the way up as if it was "inflation" as opposed to weather and plantings.
I did not hear any talks of deflation on the way to near all time lows in corn and wheat.

Is the price of oil related more to
1) peak oil
2) geopolitical concerns
3) excessive US$

If your answer is 3 then explain the sub $20 oil in 2000

That said, are housing prices related to inflation? You bet. But.... even more so to rampant speculation

Let's see how far they drop and whether or not you scream "deflation" during the drop or cleverly attempt to switch to rent prices which perhaps even go up.

My point is simple: Not every price increase is a result of inflation, of course not every drop is deflation either.
