Yes but you have to keep in mind for everything that increases above inflation everything else increases less than inflation. and overall when you average it out and consider hte portion of your expense everything is, then you will arrive at the same as the inflation rate.
So yea sure your rent is going to more-than-inflation, but everything else you buy is less than inflation so in the end the inflation rate is still the more honest value and a more complete "telling" of the story.
Also one house is not representative of the average for houses. That house may have been unusually gentrified or something. So even then one data point is useless int he conversation.
