<< The biggest problem is home prices in many places have already factored in the inflation of the next decade already<g> >>

That's a very thought-filled statement, and one with which I agree.

What many people don't realize is that prices can simply pause.

I've seen price appreciation or price changes pause for years during the decades I've owned my own house. It happens. Everyone who buys needs to be prepared for that.

And it leads to the number-one rule of buying/owning real estate: Real estate has never been designed or intended to be a short-term investment. You can own it for a couple years and come out OK taxwise under current rules, if you're lucky, but it doesn't mean the value actually rises during that time.
