Does rising inflation have you concerned? Stick around on Q&A Sunday, we're gonna talk a little bit about that and how it compares to the housing market.

Alright let's jump into the numbers because I'm gonna just tell you right off the bat the housing market has always outperformed inflation. Now I'm gonna say that always is a very, you know, definitive term. So I'm gonna break down the numbers just so you can have a sense of when I say that there's actually data to follow up what I'm saying. Whereas it's only been down one time over the last, like 40 years that people have been tracking this in, uh, information in the 1970s, housing prices outperformed inflation by 2%. So inflation went up, but housing went up 2% more in the 1980s. Basically, even when inflation went up, housing prices pretty much stayed flat with the increase at the same level in the nineties, it went up 1% higher. So housing outperform inflation in the two thousands is the only time you're gonna see a downturn.

And it was a half a percent, a half a percent, and everybody knows what happens in the two thousands. But then what happened in 2010 in the 2000 tens housing outperformed inflation by 3% now let's kick it all the way up to 2020 housing outperformed inflation by 8%. And now in 2021, I know we're in 2022 now, but we're, you know, kind of in that transition, 2021 inflation went up 7%, which is pretty high in the grand scheme of all the numbers that we're talking about. It looked the historical data and a housing market went up 15%. So that's another 8% increase over inflation. So if you are looking to buy an investment property now is the time because when inflation happens, housing happens better. That's probably not the best way to say that, but it's the easiest way to get through to someone who doesn't really follow the market.

Now, if you look back at our Instagram page from probably a couple of weeks ago, we actually sent out a, uh, or post it a graph that kind of showed all this, and we get our information from keeping current matters. So I'm gonna give a big shout out to those guys for, you know, a lot of the great content that they put out because they make what we do a lot easier to keep track of the numbers because they have a whole group of people behind the data, making sure it's all accurate, but I, I just want you to know that with inflation comes a good housing market. So if you're thinking about buying a house, whether it's a rental or it's gonna be your primary residence, you are going to thank me in two years because you're gonna say whoop, whoop. I did good. Woo I good. All right. Had a little fun at the end of that. I love to dance. Not really, but this was quick Q&A Sunday about inflation versus housing market.
