 Buying Real Estate is Still A Good InvestmentTuesday, February 7, 2012 - Article by: SUZIBOYLE -
While most homebuyers continue to see their home purchase not only as a place to live, but also as a good financial investment, a smaller share expressed this view than in the past. Seventy eight percent of buyers feel that thier homepurchase is a good financial investment, while only 8 percent felt it was not a good investment. In the 2010 NAR Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers, 85 percent reported that a home was a good finacial investment and in 2009, 87 percent of buyers held that view. In the past, repeat buyers tended to have more favorable views of the investment value of homes, but in 2011 first time homebuyers tended to have the more positive outlook. Despite the somewhat diminshed outlook among some buyers, seven in ten believe that a home pruchase is as good or better of an investment as stocks.
