Even when correctly measured, there will be a lag because there are many people who don't pay the new prices right away, and inflation is averaged over everyone.

Homeowners don't experience higher housing prices unless they decide to buy a new home. (Though they might have to pay higher property taxes.)

Renters might not experience higher rent right away, either due to rent control, or having a landlord that doesn't raise prices as fast as the market.
