Yes, in 2 ways:

  1. As you mention, the price of a home generally grows with inflation - along with other factors (supply and demand in local markets, etc.).

  2. Through financing. If you finance 80% of your purchase today, in 2014 dollars, you will pay back in future dollars. Those future dollars are worth less, because of inflation.
