To put it another way, inflation is only bad for the market to the extent that interest rates rise during inflations (except this time)


Interest rates in the Weimar republic in early 1922 were about 5%, and in early 1923 were still only about 19%.

'Perhaps we are due for a housing market rebound, a dead cat bounce fueled by -5% real interest rates?'

I give that zero chance of happening in our bubble markets. Now spreading this housing boom to many other areas that lagged the past four or so years is possible and would be very likely IMHO in a very low interest rate highly inflationary environment.
