Question

The median price of existing homes: ___________

a. has increased over the past 30 years, thereby acting as a hedge against inflation.
b. has risen less than the Consumer Price Index.
c. always increases in value.
d. tends to be countercyclical, thereby acting as a hedge against the business cycle.
e. remains constant over time.

Answer 1

C

Step-by-step explanation:

The median price of existing homes always increases in value. This is so because as the year goes on, there is an ever increasing need for shelter. Because of the fact that people procreate and more people are living, there is the certain need, or say, demand for shelter. And as a result of this, there doesn't seem to be a decline in the demand, and most likely wouldn't be anytime soon either.
