This clip cannot be shared enough.
Housing is the one of the largest drivers of our hot inflation numbers, and the way we calculate it is painfully stupid.
Owner Equivalent Rent might have made a lot of sense when we had limited data, but we now have data that is actually useful!
On top of that, they recently increased the weighting of OER, making the bad data even more influential.

During last week's #WalkerWebcast, Willy Walker discussed the BLS number of 5.9% growth in single-family rentals across the country, and how W&D's research group, Zelman & Associates - A Walker & Dunlop Company, begs to differ. Zelman tracks single-family housing rental price data across the United States and found in February, there was a 3.3% growth in single-family rentals.
Is the Fed misreading the data?

It’s always “different this time,” isn’t it?
But what’s truly “different” this cycle is an acute lack of housing supply.
From the vid: “…getting through the planning and zoning process takes far longer and has much more of an economic consequence…”
Municipal groups have a massive opportunity in front of them:
Those who change their stance from “here’s why you can’t do that” to “how can I help” will see legitimate economic expansion through the next 10-15 years.

I don't have the first clue what I would rent my house out for, yet that's 27% of CPI?
27% of CPI is comprised of Owner's Equivalent Rent (OER), which attempts to measure the hypothetical rental cost of owner-occupied housing. How many homeowners have a good sense of what they would rent their house out for today?
In this interview, W&D cites their own real time data with SFR growth of 3.3%. If we replace OER with this 3.3% SFR growth, that implies CPI would have been 2.5% in February, not 3.2%.

We live in a giga economy where data can be obtained in so many ways down to the roots, but our Fed is using an outdated approach and taking those findings of that approach as a roadmap to steer our economy.
