Real Estate Tops Best Investment Poll for 7th Year Running

Every year, Gallup conducts a surveyof Americans to determine their choice for the best long-term investment. Respondents are asked to select real estate, stocks/mutual

funds, gold, savings accounts/CDs, or bonds.

For the seventh year in a row, real estate has come out on top as the best long-term investment. Gallup explained:

“Real estate remains the most favored investment to Americans, as has been the case since 2013, when the housing market was on the rebound. More than a third of Americans have named real estate as the top investment since 2016.”

This year’s results indicated 35% of Americans chose real estate,
followed by stocks at 21%. The full results covering the last decade are
shown in the chart below:

Bottom Line

The belief of the American people in the stability of housing as a
long-term investment remains strong, even through the many challenges
our economy faces today.
