The correlation between rising money supply and the spike in housing prices is particularly notable. Over the last four years, as money supply saw a 40-70% increase depending on the measure, median home prices surged by approximately 52.6%. This trend signals that the real estate market operates on its unique pressures, impacted by local dynamics alongside national financial trends.
