It seemed even with the prices going up its a trend that will be continuing and well see it even take off a lot harder in years to come in California.

If they did, there are a lot easier ways to make a profit on that knowledge than buying or selling real estate.Financial obligations (bank payments + rent) as a percentage of disposable income is at a 40-year low.Although commodity price inflation has been severe, prices are just getting back to 2014 levels.The average household wealth of the bottom 50% of households is at a historic high...there is no comparable period whatsoever.If you back out real estate gains, net worth is over 100% higher than pre-pandemic levels for the bottom 50% of households.Bank deposit balances of the the bottom 50% are $10,000+ and $3,000 above pre-pandemic levels, and kept increasing in 4Q21 after 3 quarters of increasing inflation and lower fiscal support payments.Government unemployment insurance benefit payments have trended to near zero.Nominal wage growth for the lowest income quartile is growing at the same pace as inflation.2020 had large gains in real wage growth; so, even though real wage growth is severely negative for the past year, the 2-year trend is break even.If real wage growth is -1%, it would take ~6 years to burn off the excess savings of the average bottom 50% of households.

They may have to settle for a smaller house, partents may have to chip in and they have gained massive equity and will be able to do so..Home prices in Milwaukee has "only" gone up 12% last year, minus 8% inflation that's a very modest 4%, so as much as I am looking for indications, it does not seem this trend will change anytime soon.

The Research Triangle and surrounding areas hit most if not all of the markers you look for when underwriting real estate markets.... population growth, income growth, house value growth, crime trends, job growth, business-friendly state, landlord-friendly (some areas are not as friendly as others). 

Inflation is the highest it's been since 1981 and continuing an upward trend.

For Boise and surrounding areas, what do you think rent trends will be in the near to mid-term?
