Why does housing inflation matter for financial planning?

if your rent is gonna go up, i want to know and plan for it

if the cost of your house is likely to rise (it doesnt always, just ask my best friend who bought his house at the top of the market only to find three years later it is worth less than when they bought it), it might help to know....since it among the largest of all expense in life
 
Hi Cole; When it comes time to refinance your house; say at the end of a 5 year period, you'll definitely know, say if interest rates have gone up drastically in that time. You may end up paying 50% more on your mortgage than in the first five years. Rising interest rates must be taken into account whenever you decide to purchase a home. There is no such thing as "housing inflation." What you mean is rising interest rates which affect everything you purchase on credit, or over an extended period of time.
