A house is still a house. The fact it might be valued in more pounds doesn’t really help anybody as everything else we buy, houses included has gone up at a similar rate. Nobody is richer. They have more cash value in hand or in assets but that cash is worth less. The assets are still as they were before the pandemic. Cash is worth less, which really hits cash savers hard, particular those saving to get on the property ladder which is being pulled up quicker then they can possibly reach it. It’s a sh!t storm economy in my view it that rewards the feckless and punishes the cautious.
If the value of your house goes up faster than the rate of inflation, you are richer

Don’t believe everything you read in the Daily Mail.
Depends what you are trying to buy.
And it depends what goods and services you include in the rate of inflation.
By and large nobody is any richer now than they were before the pandemic struck. A house is still just a house. A pound is worth less so you need more of them to buy a house, the result of printing more money than growth soaks up.
As the money tree runs out we will see just how rich people really are.

Totally agree with your conclusion,the increased wealth people have from the pandemic is real but likely temporary.
Populations understandably love the short term effects of printing money.
We've been at since 2008 and presumably will continue to find excuses to do so.
Covid wearing a bit thin now
 
So now the science says Covid can be transmitted by flatulence. But surely most people are wearing a 'mask' of some sort when they fart? Yet these are ineffective presumably. :rolleyes:
The minister said there were "well-documented cases of diseases spreading through waste pipes during lockdowns in Hong Kong when the U-bend had dried out".

Look after your U bend I say !!
I think it meant more about farting on the bog
