🚨 Real Estate versus Inflation 🚨
Over the last 5 years, cumulative inflation has been around 24%
That means the purchasing power of your savings has decreased
$150,000 in 2020 has the purchasing power of around $120,000 today.
Residential dwelling values nationally have increased by 47% over the same period.
If $150,000 had of been invested in a 1 million dollar property in 2020 (10% deposit + costs) and that property grew at the national average over that period (47%). Then you would have gained nearly half a million in equity.
Note there would be some holding costs on property and there would be some interest on savings as well as several other factors.
But the larger point remains that you would be exponentially better off today if you had of invested in a high quality property that performed well versus just doing nothing with your savings.
Because of inflation, savers tend to lose out the most over time. Those that hold high quality productive assets tend to do well over time.
