If there is high inflation, the Fed will raise interest rates, crashing the housing market. Not saying you're wrong, but there are many factors to be considered.

High inflation is actually good for homes and other assets. The market will be dampened, but home values will rise with inflation.

Holding assets is a good hedge against inflation.

That and your mortgage is locked so your payment gets super cheap in high inflation situations.

The government will never allow high inflation as it undermines the willingness to write and sign long term contracts and trade agreements.
