I truly believe the govt will have no option but to let inflation creep up here shortly.
Couple that with the very low interest rates and the fact that housing has dropped 30-50% in most SD areas, and it probably means it is a good time to find a home you can be happy with for 10 to 20 years and buy with a 30 yr fixed.
This could be totally off base, but that is where I would put my money.
