As well, beware the inflated “average rent” stats in Padmapper because they include AirBnB listings...still good to use once u filter those out. 

Volatile interest rates today due to the consumer inflation index report.

Two of the frightening conversations I've had are women who had to return to work at age 65 or 72 because their Social Security payments or deceased husband's pension was not enough to live on with inflation.

Personally, I know a LOT of people are expecting cuts to start happening in June but with the spring market being hot here in Winnipeg and with the recent carbon tax increase I could see inflation staying high forcing the BOC to keep the prime rate where it is.

You are obligated to provide the oldest verifiable operating statement (base year), which is adjusted into today's dollars (Using an LA City formula for inflation) and this is compared to your current year (yes with receipts, cancelled checks, bank statements, k1's etc), which can be significant. 

The Heights/Montrose appreciate as well, they are just much more inflated prices currently.

Inflation is up, people are stressed, savings are exhausted and this unexpected so called break may leave this person homeless.This ^^^^ And I saw a news story recently that 50% of the US is currently having problems making their housing payment - both renters and owners.

Hell, the Fed employs 100+ researchers and 400 PHD economists.They are usually wrong about both: where inflation will be, and what their own interest rates (Fed Funds rate) will be.

Inflating the suggested value is a rule violation for REALTORs by the way.If you put an offer in writing, it should be submitted.

if future appreciation is flat or less than inflation (3%) i would sell especially since you already have appreciation.
