I don't think there is any hard and fast "plan," but many economists would argue that maintaining inflation at an average rate of 2 to 4% is more desirable than any alternative (hyperinflation/deflation).
Like many things in an economy, it's about maintaining a balancing act.
But sometimes you have to take other considerations into account. Housing prices are also at the mercy of market forces of buying and selling in such ways that many other products hardly ever see.
