Inflation refers to running up price and wage caused by excessive money supply in any textbook.

Nowaday, price is driven up by high demand of everything, not money supply. So I don't think Fed is able to remedy today's "inflation" by simply playing rate hike or cut.

Gauging housing price with inflation is the way too naive to predict the trend of housing market.
