Real Estate: Still the #1 Best Long-Term Investment – Here’s Why That Matters to You

When it comes to building long-term wealth, Americans continue to put their trust in real estate—and with good reason.

According to a recent Gallup poll, real estate has been voted the best long-term investment for the 12th year in a row, beating out stocks, gold, savings accounts, and bonds. This vote of confidence comes even as we see a moderation in home price growth and ongoing economic uncertainty. So why does real estate remain the favorite?

Simple: homeownership builds wealth. Unlike rent payments that go straight to a landlord, monthly mortgage payments build equity in something you own. Over time, your home can become one of your most valuable financial assets. As property values rise—and they typically do over the long haul—you gain even more wealth just by living in your home.

But what about today’s market? Is now a good time to buy?

Even with interest rates fluctuating and housing inventory evolving, smart buyers are still finding ways to enter the market—and many are using tools and programs that make homeownership more affordable than ever. From zero-down options and down payment assistance to special grant programs and low-interest financing, there’s more opportunity than you might think.
