Inflation is not the same as property price growth. Your 25 year example is a rehashing of the silly old chestnut about house prices doubling every decade or so (based on a sample size of 30 or so years, ignoring the effect of rampant inflation in the 70s and 80s, the neverending boom from the 90s to the GFC, the channelling of Chinese investment money into 'safe' Australian property, and the structural tax breaks that helped exacerbate the problem (and now the even more ridiculous imposition of SMSFs into the market).
If you're investing to track inflation, you could almost do it in a bank deposit.
