Bad news for anyone in real estate: Inflation isn’t cooling like we hoped. Prices jumped 3% year-over-year higher than economists predicted. But the real gut punch? Shelter costs (aka rent and housing) surged 0.4% in just one month, outpacing food and energy.
If you own apartments, retail spaces, or offices, this is your warning:
Tenants are getting crushed by rising rents AND daily costs (food up 0.4%, gas up 1.1%). Defaults are coming.
The Fed’s not cutting rates anytime soon. Refinancing debt? Good luck.
Retail and hospitality? Forget it. Consumers are tapped out.
This isn’t just a “headline” problem. It’s a cash flow crisis in slow motion.
