RE:INFLATIONInflation is insignificant to the price of housing. Its 100% demand that drives home prices and obviously demand is solid as home prices continue to rise. What inflation does is reduce certain people out of the housing market. Since they are paying more for groceries gas clothes etc etc their budget and savings for buying a home is reduced, sometimes greatly. So the key is to watch real estate data to predict a downturn in housing. Slower sales, more listings, flatter pricing etc. Housing could likely stay strong even during this inflationary period but it will reduce the number of buyers due to personal affordability. Big picture stats are housing starts and new home sales. Hope this helps...GLTA
