If you are renting, it sucks in multiple ways. Higher prices, higher rents, wage pressure relaxes so not so much in the way of pay rises.

Well, if you own a home. It will depend on your mortgage, the lower it the better as interest rates have a lower effect on you. The higher prices still suck as does the wage pressure relaxing.
