More Americans Choose Real Estate as the Best Investment Than Ever Before<\/p><\/div>\n

Americans\u2019 opinion on the value of real estate as an investment is climbing. That\u2019s according to an annual survey<\/a> from Gallup<\/em>. Not only is real estate viewed as the best investment for the ninth year in a row, but more Americans selected it than ever before.<\/p>\n

The graph below shows the results of the survey since Gallup<\/em> began asking the question in 2011. As the trend lines indicate, real estate has been gaining ground as the clear favorite for almost a decade now:<\/p>\n

Americans Choose Real Estate as the Best Long-Term Investment<\/p><\/div>\n

If you\u2019re thinking about purchasing a home, let this poll reassure you. Even when inflation<\/a> is high like today, Americans recognize owning a home is a powerful financial decision<\/a>.<\/p>\n

How an Investment in Real Estate Can Benefit You During High Inflation <\/strong><\/h4>\n

Because inflation<\/a> reached its highest level in 40 years<\/a> recently, it\u2019s more important than ever to understand the financial benefits of homeownership. Rising inflation means prices are increasing across the board, and that includes goods, services, housing costs, and more. When you purchase your home, you lock in your monthly housing payments, effectively shielding yourself from increases on one of your biggest budgetary items each month.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re a renter, you don\u2019t have that same benefit, and you aren\u2019t protected from these increases, especially as rents rise<\/a>. As Danielle Hale, Chief Economist at realtor.com, <\/em>notes<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cRising rents, which continue to climb at double-digit pace . . . and the prospect of locking in a monthly housing cost in a market with widespread inflation are motivating today\u2019s first-time homebuyers<\/strong>.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

When Inflation Has Risen in the Past, Home Prices Have Too<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Your house is also an asset that typically increases in value over time, even during inflation. That\u2018s because as prices rise, the value of your home does too. Mark Cussen, Financial Writer for Investopedia<\/em>, puts it like this<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are many advantages to investing in real estate. . . . It often acts as a good inflation hedge since there will always be a demand for homes, regardless of the economic climate, and because as inflation rises, so do property values<\/strong>. . . .\u201d <\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And since rising home values help increase your equity<\/a>, and by extension your net worth<\/a>, homeownership is historically a good hedge against inflation.<\/p>\n

Bottom Line<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Buying a home is a powerful decision. It\u2019s no wonder why so many people view it as the best long-term investment, even when inflation is high. When you buy, you help shield yourself from increases in your housing costs and you own an asset that typically gains value with time.
