I did a Google search for "long-term returns from housing vs. other asset classes" (purposefully using exactly what you typed here to show how easy this is) and found a ton of references showing this is an overly-strong (and even somewhat "debated") claim but (as far as I am concerned) right enough for a discussion forum (and remember a lot of people aren't in a good mental position to own stocks but have to live somewhere anyway and so might as well own a house). https://seekingalpha.com/article/4242070-in-long-run-house-w... > This mix of comparable returns (Finding 1) with lower volatility (Finding 2) leads to one of the research's most puzzling, but fascinating, discoveries: over the very long run (circa the last century), housing earned a superior risk-adjusted return than equities. Sharpe ratios for the asset summarise this fact; note too that the pattern is consistent across countries. |
