The central bank can create unlimited inflation in financial assets. In, say, food, or cars, not so much. (I mean, I guess they could buy a bunch of food and cars, but that's pretty far out there, even for the current expansive definitions of what the central banks can do.)

Isn't this what some governments (through purchasing supply) and some central banks (through relaxed lending restrictions) have done with real estate?

Yes, but real estate is at least half in the "financial assets" category.
