you did not yet give your proof for your contention that RE in Texas is inflationary whereas CA is not inflationary. you need to explain this and other absurdities which arise out of your theory that if you rename inflationary things they no longer exist.

A simple and fair formula for the housing component of CPI would be:

1)percentage increase in median home prices (adjusted for change in size and amenities) times the percentage of homeownership

2)plus percentage increase in median rents adjusted for change in size and amenities times percentage of renters.

RE:"35% of houses sold in 2004 were for INVESTMENT purposes does it makes sense to place in the CPI those investments but not stock investments?"

Since we been told that a house is your "greatest investment" then why not include 100%?

Tax real estate investments like stocks and other investments or stocks like real estate and they will level out. Simple as that.
