Very interesting article Adi! When I try to think about the significance of rising US inflation over the real estate market trend, I see only one direction, rising prices and rents. I will explain why, the US economy is in a state of full employment, 4.1% unemployment, quantitative easing over the past few years, driving business activity, inflating capital market price bubble, helping to dispose of surplus asset supply from pre-subprime crisis, rising assets and rents, Bank The central government began raising interest rates last year in line with employment and inflation figures, so far everything is normal, but in late 2017 President Trump passed a significant tax reform that would increase citizens' disposable income, accelerate business activity, cause giant American companies to repay money from abroad And invest them in expanding businesses and creating more jobs in the United States. Central banks are in the process of reducing taxes when the market is in recession, they want to stimulate the local economy, here however, in the current market situation, it is like pouring fuel into the fire, it may create a shortage of workers, so wages are expected to rise sharply, job security is high, Security people commit to long-term mortgages for about 30 years as is customary in the US. The increase in wages will translate into an increase in rents, a rise in interest rates to moderate inflation could lead to declines in the capital market, and cause investors to move and purchase income-producing assets. In the near term I see a continuing trend of rising prices and rents, in the medium to long term, rising interest rates in addition to liquid and available financing for entrepreneurs, may bring the next crisis, as a result of high financing costs and again high supply of properties. I think the market is still interesting for investors. For any purpose, it is recommended for a medium term, and not more than 50% of the value of the property.
