4. Inflation & Prices Homeownership: Rising Construction Costs: As inflation drives up the cost of raw materials (e.g., lumber, steel, cement) and labor, construction costs rise. This leads to higher property prices as developers seek to recover these increased costs. Real Estate as an Inflation Hedge: Real estate often acts as a hedge against inflation, as property values generally rise in line with inflation, preserving the purchasing power of investors’ capital. High inflation pushes ownership out of reach. Home prices saw substantial increases, partially due to rising construction and material costs.

5. Supply Chain and Construction Costs • How Global Supply Chains Affect the Cost of Building • Material Shortages and Delays: Disruptions in global supply chains can lead to shortages of key building materials, such as lumber, steel, or concrete. This not only delays construction timelines but also drives up costs. • Impact on New Development: Higher construction costs often make new developments more expensive, which may result in fewer new homes or commercial buildings being constructed, thus reducing supply and driving up prices for existing properties. • Government Policies and Their Role in Construction Costs • Zoning Laws and Regulations: Local government policies such as zoning laws, building codes, and land-use regulations can either facilitate or hinder construction projects. • Incentives for Development: On the flip side, government incentives such as tax credits or grants for affordable housing projects can encourage developers to build more properties, helping to alleviate housing shortages in certain markets.
