So how do you measure housing inflation?

By changes in your monthly payment including changes in RE taxes and insurance?

Changes in median prices in your area?

Changes in rents in your area?

To me the fairest computation would be:
Change in monthly payment based on median price with average 30 yr fixed rate with 20% down and corresponding RE taxes and insurance added in. Take that and multiply by the percentage of the households that are owner occupied homeowners.
Then take the change in median monthly rent and multiply by the percentage of households that are renters.
Add together and adjust for any measurable change in size,quality ect.. that can be quantified.
