<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fatima, post: 1356207, member: 22143&quot;]We didn&#039;t talk about the kind of inflation/deflation.&nbsp; I am talking about monetary inflation/deflation.&nbsp; This is caused by the increase or decrease of the money supply.&nbsp; It&#039;s important to distinguish this because how one reacts to housing prices as an investor depends upon if the price is changing due to that issue, or rather, the price is changing to to some other factor such as demand, lack of income, something local like a new garbage dump or road, which is depressing prices.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>You first have to eliminate the effects of money printing/retraction.&nbsp;&nbsp; So if the prudent real estate investor recognizes and takes that step, then realizing that gold is considered a currency exchange with the dollar, then they also have to consider that inflation affects it&#039;s price too.&nbsp; (Especially for anyone taking the time to have a discussion on a bullion forum)&nbsp;&nbsp; So given that, gold is a long way from it&#039;s historic high.&nbsp;&nbsp; Based on that fact alone, there is a 41% upside to gold pricing.&nbsp; However I don&#039;t think one can say the same about real estate in general.&nbsp;&nbsp; IMO, prices, in general, are headed back to the mid-1980s levels and in many cases, places will have to be torn down because there are no buyers.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
