30 Years of Real Estate vs. Stock Market Performance (Shocking)

The real estate vs. stock market debate is OVER. That’s right, after a conclusive study conducted by our own VP of Data and Analytics, Dave Meyer, we’ve found the real difference in returns between the stock market and real estate investing. And at first, you might think that these two types of investments end up being pretty close in terms of profit. For the most part, stock investors don’t care to venture into the active world of real estate, and vice versa. But what if we told you the difference was HUGE? We’re talking DOUBLE the returns in one over the other.

You might say, “Hey, isn’t this a real estate investing channel? We know your answer!” Think again. We’ve got the raw data pitting rental properties against the S&P 500, everyone’s favorite index fund, to see whether investing in the S&P, a rental property, or a primary residence comes out on top. Adding all the factors together, the winner could have you changing your investment strategy quite quickly.

Which investment would you choose? Are passive stocks more your thing, or are physical properties worth the active investment? Let us know in the comments below!
