Real Estate as a Financial Investment

A survey by The Joint Center of Housing Studies at Harvard University revealed when a family is buying a home, they think about the financial benefits of home ownership. The survey mentions things like:

• Paying rent does not make financial sense
• Home ownership provides a financial opportunity
• Owning a home helps build family wealth
• Buying a home is an investment for retirement
• Home equity can be used by borrowing against it

So how did home ownership match up against other investments in 2015?
