Auburn Estates
Your Home as an Investment
On the average, real estate has appreciated from 5% - 8% per year for the past 100 years depending on the area. This has not been a steady rate because of market swings. For example, in 1997, the average cost of a new home was $97,500. However, by 2006, the average cost was $199,900 - over a 100% increase. With very few exceptions, the cost of housing year over year is more than it was the year before.
Stocks Vs. Real Estate
Over the calendar years (2002-2006), the average annual rate of home price appreciation (up to 9.2% per year) was greater than the annual return achieved by the S&P 500 stock index

(up +6.2% per year). Plus you can't live at the stock index. Over the last 30 calendar years (1977-2006), the average annual rate of home price appreciation went up +6.1% per year.
