Even when inflation is rising like it is today, Americans agree <strong>an investment like real estate truly shines.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Why Is Real Estate a Great Investment During Times of High Inflation?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>With inflation reaching its highest level in <a title=\"40 years\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/consumer-prices-inflation-highest-rate-in-40-years\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">40 years<\/a>, it\u2019s more important than ever to understand the financial benefits of homeownership. Rising inflation means prices are increasing across the board. That includes goods, services, housing costs, and more. But when you purchase your home, you lock in your monthly housing payments, effectively shielding yourself from increasing housing payments. James Royal, Senior Wealth Management Reporter at <em>Bankrate<\/em>, <a title=\"explains\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bankrate.com\/investing\/inflation-hedges-to-protect-against-rising-prices\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">explains<\/a> it like this:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201c<strong>A fixed-rate mortgage allows you to maintain the biggest portion of housing expenses at the same payment<\/strong>. Sure, property taxes will rise and other expenses may creep up, but your monthly housing payment remains the same.\u201d <\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>If you\u2019re a <a title=\"renter\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mykcm.com\/2022\/01\/04\/avoid-the-rental-trap-in-2022\/\">renter<\/a>, you don\u2019t have that same benefit, and you aren\u2019t protected from increases in your housing costs, especially rising rents.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>History Shows During Inflationary Periods, Home Prices Rise as Well<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>As a homeowner, your house is an asset that typically increases in value over time, even during inflation. That\u2018s because, as prices rise, the value of your home does, too. And that makes <a title=\"buying a home\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mykcm.com\/2022\/01\/12\/two-ways-homebuyers-can-win-in-todays-market\/\">buying a home<\/a> a great hedge during periods of high inflation. Natalie Campisi, Advisor Staff for <em>Forbes<\/em>, <a title=\"notes\" href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/advisor\/mortgages\/homebuying-can-hedge-against-inflation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">notes<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201c<em>Tangible assets like real estate get more valuable over time, <strong>which makes buying a home a good way to spend your money during inflationary times<\/strong>.<\/em>\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3><strong>Bottom Line<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Housing truly is a strong investment, especially when inflation is high.
