Inflation In US
An increase in the cost of all consumer goods and services is referred to as “inflation.” A general measure of how much things have gotten more expensive over time is what this is all about. The Consumer Price Index (CPI), which the US Bureau of Labor Statistics calculates, is the most commonly used method for measuring inflation, as per The Guardian.
According to BGR, at the moment, nearly 80 percent of Americans say that inflation is affecting their personal lives, and 57 percent hold President Biden responsible. The housing market is not exempt from the effects of all of this. In August, home prices rose 19.8 percent year-over-year, according to the S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller Indices.
