Reply To: Is real estate still a safe hedge against inflation?

I think it depends a lot on where you buy and your time horizon. Real estate has historically been a good hedge against inflation since rents and property values often rise over time, but itโ€™s not guaranteed. In hot markets, prices can actually dip if interest rates climb too fast, which weโ€™ve seen recently. For me, property feels safer long-term than just holding cash, but it does tie up a lot of capital and comes with its own risks. Curious to hear how others are balancing real estate with other inflation hedges like stocks or commodities.
