S&P 500 has outpaced the housing market as an investment
Original: Thinking about buying stocks instead of a home? The S&P 500 has blown away the housing market
Fortune reports that the S&P 500 has significantly outperformed the US housing market as an investment, prompting a debate over whether aspiring homeowners would be better off renting and investing in stocks instead of buying a home. The comparison weighs stock market returns against home price appreciation, challenging the long-standing assumption that homeownership is the most reliable path to building wealth.
Why now: High home prices and mortgage rates are making many people reconsider whether buying a home is still the best investment.
