OTHER INVESTMENTS
Usually, the largest investment a family will make is also one of the best investments. According to Wall Street analysts. Real Estate has outperformed Inflation, long-term government bonds and treasury bills over the last 25 years. During that period, inflation has increased at an annual rate of 6%. long term government bonds - 6.2%, and treasury bills • 6.9%. Single family homes topped all of them with an annual compounded growth of 7%. Only common stock yielded a slightly higher return than housing. However, the volatility and higher risk of common stock explains the relatively higher return. If you're not careful, you can get hurt In the stock market. Take 'Black Monday,' for example.
Investment potential has become a stronger motive for buying a single family home In mstjor metropolitan markets where home prices have been rising more rapidly. In these markets, you can expect to see a faster turnover of houses as owners make intra-neighborhood moves to take advantage of that appreciation.
