I don’t think house prices are included in the consumer price index. Most governments tie social security payouts to CPI and are therefore motivated to change the CPI calculation method to minimize the rise. If you dig down into what they actually measure all common economic indicators (GDP, PPP, CPI, ...) are B.S. They’re there to pretend that economics is a science, while in practice it’s more of an art, or a quackery, depending on your disposition.
