This is right. Part of the problem is that we don't refer to this by what it is: Inflation in housing prices.
The thing about housing is that you can't choose not to consume it. You can't anticipate your consumption to beat inflation either.
The only way to win with housing inflation is by exploting some subsidy like cheap leverage and the like.
