Does inflation make it harder to purchase a home?
Rounding it up
Inflation is the reduction in purchasing power of a currency, typically over a period of time.
Inflation can make purchasing a home more difficult because prices will be higher for both purchasing and upgrading a home.
It seems like it could be a good time to sell, but remember that you have to live somewhere; sellers are often buyers too.
