What Can Cause Inflation?

CAUSE: More money floating around the economy

EFFECT: Rising prices on goods and services (recent example: lumber)

Inflation impacts the housing market because rising prices on good and services often results in a higher base house price. Inflation may also impact interest rates for borrowers, which can impact some buyer’s purchasing power.
