REAL ESTATE TOPS BEST INVESTMENT POLL FOR 5TH YEAR RUNNING

Every year, Gallup surveys Americans to determine their choice for the best long-term investment. Respondents are given a choice between real estate, stocks/mutual funds, gold, savings accounts/CDs, or bonds.

For the fifth year in a row, real estate has come out on top as the best long-term investment!

This year’s results showed that 34% of Americans chose real estate, followed by stocks at 26%. The full results are shown in the chart below.

The study makes it a point to draw attention to the contrast in the sentiment over the last five years compared to that of 2011-2012, when gold took the top slot with 34% of the votes. Real estate and stocks took second and third place, respectively, while still in recovery from the Great Recession.

Bottom Line

As the real estate market has recovered, so has the belief of the American people in the stability of housing as a long-term investment.

Home prices won’t slow down, stumping the experts and shutting out buyer

Annual price gains are accelerating

Home-price gains accelerated in March, defying predictions that lofty prices will eventually return to earth, and raising questions about how sustainable such a heated market can be.

The home-price index from real estate data provider CoreLogic showed national yearly price growth of 7% in March. That’s up from 6.4% in February. Annual price gains have averaged 6.5% so far in 2018, up from an average of 5.9% last year. 

CoreLogic said lopsided supply-demand dynamics are to blame. “Lower-priced homes are appreciating much faster than higher-priced properties, making the affordability crisis even worse,” the company said. What’s worse, CoreLogic said half the nation’s housing markets are now “overvalued” — a metric it created by comparing current prices in a metro area to its long-run sustainable levels.

For some perspective on what analysts mean by an “affordability crisis,” the government reported earlier in April that wages are increasing by about 2.7%annually. Yet CoreLogic thinks home prices will rise 5.2% in the coming 12 months. 

It’s worth repeating that analyst expectations about moderation in home-price growth have been wrong again and again. In May 2017, CoreLogic forecasted year-ahead price growth of 4.9%. The actual 7% gain dwarfed that estimate.
