How is inflation "going back up"

[garyreins]

These monthly reports are all over the place, -0.2% in oct and not 0.6%

so dumb we need to follow this number every month and take a bath - a number that no one can actually predict

5% rates highest in 20 years and magically good demand is still there

maybe rates hit suppy side as well, less investment

egg on the central banks face. whats another hike going to do?

One of the FED's mandates is to maintain price stability, and we all know how residential real estate has gone parabolic. What if they don't really intend to drop rates for the next few years in order to crush these residential valuations to increase affordablity to younger generations ?  Average wage to home prices is still at historic ratios .

It may be a bit counter-intuitive, but unless there's a sufficient oversupply of housing, increased interest rates have the effect of increasing lease-cost of housing (and so, increase inflation when considering housing costs). New build costs are still above current home prices, so it's unlikely that an oversupply of housing happens anytime soon to put pressure on housing prices. In all
