The Potential Inflation Hedge of Housing

The housing market has seen some interesting dynamics. Despite high home prices and mortgage rates, housing affordability is worsening, causing some uncertainty. The market is experiencing a standoff between buyers and sellers, with both sides waiting for the other to make a move. However, organic transactions still occur due to life events like death, divorce, or job changes, and these transactions can shape price discovery. If sellers start fearing a market downturn, they may sell, leading to a potential flood of inventory. Additionally, factors like the reversal of the carry trade and the increasing popularity of zero DTE options trading contribute to market uncertainty. As a data-driven analyst, caution is advised, and assets like utilities, treasuries, the dollar, and gold are considered more appropriate for this environment.
