Housing. housing can't change very quickly because building houses is expensive and time consuming.
Housing of course
Demand is inelastic when changes the in price of a commodity do not effect (or have very little effect) the quantity of that product demanded. For most commodities, demand decreases with price increases and demand increases with price decreases.

In the short run, most commodities have inelastic supply curves. In the long run, with increased investment, supply could become more elastic. I would hazard a guess that the radio - active isotopes used for nuclear fuel such as Uranium-235 have the most inelastic supply.

Increase. Inelastic demand means that most consumers will continue to buy a good regardless of price.

In economic theory, a perfect inelastic demand is a demand for some product that cannot be reduced, either by higher prices or shortages, because it is something that people absolutely have to have at any cost. There would be very few examples of a perfect inelastic demand. Some people need a certain kind of medicine to treat their disease, such as a severe diabetic who needs insulin; this is a perfectly inelastic demand. A heroin addict must have his or her heroin, regardless of cost, so that too is a perfectly inelastic demand. But most products have some elasticity of demand. If you cannot afford fruit juice, you can probably drink water instead.
