Regarding price inflation, a new forum member recently linked an analysis of CPI expecting it to see a rise of over 20% within 1 year, see https://forum.freecapitalists.org/t/what-kind-of-inflation-can-we-expect-if-the-monetary-world-gets-back-to-normal/11426 This seems to rest well with my gut feeling of 20-25% annual inflation within 3-4 years and currency collapse within 20.
I believe the real estate market still has a few years to go to reach bottom, some have conjured them returning to 1965 price levels! I wouldn’t be surprised if the more boom prone areas bottom near 75% of their peak. Gotta love those granite countertops in formica neighborhoods … lol
If I were in your boat, I’d shop long and hard for a super bargain on a humble house in a low property tax area, finance most of it for 30 years, and put the balance in other semi-liquid commodities like oil, precious metals, and agriculture.
