With oil declining from peak, there will be less inflation pressure on goods, however, labor inflation lags goods / rent inflation and now we are seeing the effects of labor inflation, and the only way to reduce labor inflation is to reduce job growth, which when due to a pandemic and those in their 60's retiring early, results in a labor shortage, means that the Fed may have to follow the Volker formula, and many are betting that won't happen. . .

Just remember that your house is NOT an investment. there is no revenue generated by it and there are only expenses associated with it. a car is also not an investment, just future junk. And in the villages, houses can come close to future junk with no wills/trusts, etc
