“Between 2006, the peak of the previous housing bubble, and 2019, average home prices have increased just 13%, according to the S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Index. In that same time period, the S&P 500 rose 125%. In other words, stocks did 10 times better than real estate”

I can’t take an article seriously when it purposefully ignores what’s happened in the last three years because it negates the point it’s trying to make.

Weasel words. Should have said "In other words, stocks did 10 times better than real estate... if you bought and sold at those exact times". It's easy to cherrypick these high and low marks to prove whatever point you need.

The article is dated 2019, so it's not a case of "purposefully ignores what's happened"; the last three years hadn't happened yet!
