Housing prices have exploded not because houses are more valuable, cars prices have exploded not because cars are that much better. No is is the lost of value of your "money" which is really not money because if it were it would not backed NOTHING but confidence in government and military power.

So as government send tax bills to people based on the failing and valueless Federal Reserve Note this is fraud, taxation without representation. These people are not valuing your house on its value they value it on a debased currency that is losing value faster than the economy is growing and with congress and every president sending us into debt for war, war, war, war, war, war for the profit of members of government and corporations. 

Ask yourself did the gold coin change in value or did the Federal Reserve Note loose value? Did you add major renovations to your home? No! Yet in ten years its suppose tax value has risen 40%. Really, no the home was not changed the Federal Reserve Note is weaker and weaker. Although migration of people and corporations from one location to another is the flow of of humanity but the Federal Reserve Note is weaker and taxes keep going up and thus people and corporations move out. Inflation is the backbone of our monetary theory. 2% inflation has grown for decades and now we are nearing the point where the Federal Reserve Note will not be trusted by more and more people and the prices will be rising. 

So ask yourself since you do have the ability to do so. Can you diversify into real assets? Can anyone predict the future, I think not. However since all reality is a cycle of time you can bet history will be close to some point in time of the past. Collapse of government, currency happens over and over and over and at this point in history the fiat CURRENCIES of the world are losing their purchasing power and thus rising taxes or inflation to continue to steal the theft of the people and the taxation without representation is destroying family after family. Basing housing prices on a currency that loses 2% of its value year after year and is over 100 years old what do you think its really value us?

Housing values are not going up, Gold and silver are not going up, the dollar, the Federal Reserve Notes in your pocket are truly not worth more than a 90% copper penny. UM!
