In 1979, CPI rose 11.3%, and that included a 14% increase in the price of existing homes.

The current estimate of owners' rent comes from the tenant market. The tenant market and the owners' market are fundamentally different in character, location, and, most importantly, vacancy rates. As is the case nowadays, homeowners would base their rent estimates on the shrinking availability of homes on the market and housing inflation in a red-hot market. The current measurement approach creates a considerable error in the reported inflation statistics by relying on the tenant market for price inflation for owners.</p>\n<p><b>Long-lived items are not part of the CPI---False</b>. One of the arguments for not including house prices in the CPI is it a long-lived asset that consumers consume over a series of years. If CPI were only to have perishable items or used in a short time, then it would include food and energy and a few other products and services.

It is fast and broad, and one of the most surprising features is that owners' housing costs are running less than half as fast as the core.
