Most guess wrong.
A recent survey has been released for RealityShares, and it shows the highest performing asset classes since the turn of the century. The results demonstrate how these investments are as well known to the public as some had thought.
Real estate investing seems to be underestimated and could lead to an upswing for this offering.
When the surveyed were asked to choose what they believe the top investment classes were, the majority chose stocks while only 16% chose real estate.
RealityShares mentioned that those who responded to the survey might have been basing their opinion on the recent climb in the domestic stock market. Obviously, unbeknownst to them was the fact that real estate outperformed the S&P 500 by a ratio of 2 to 1.
The report did highlight the fact that the S&P has outperformed real estate in the last six years, but only 1.28%.
A Definite Hunger
The poll went on to show that almost half of the surveyed said that they would be more interested in investing in real estate if there were technology available that made the research and the transaction process easier. Those numbers jumped to 63% for the millennials.
The report showed some other interesting points:
Now, not all the results were as positive.
Almost three-quarters of those surveyed felt that real estate investing was more difficult a process than other investable assets.
About 70% said the higher cost outlay of real estate investing would likely hamper their consideration of investing. Less than 40% stated that they felt that they had the ability for flipping homes.

Homes have not recovered since the housing bubble burst.
Trulia has just released its latest new study, and it has some eyebrows raising. Pulling from the study, we can look at a homeowner in Fresno, California and one from San Francisco. Not much distance separates these two cities, but San Francisco has seen its property values skyrocketing since the recession. Unfortunately, Fresno is lucky to have more than 2 percent of its homes get back to or above the pre-recession prices. Why?
If one were to look at the S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller Index and the FHFA House Price Index, they would see numbers that show that the country has recovered from the last housing bubble burst. Trulia, on the other hand, says that this is not the whole story.
Looking across the country, it appears that 1 in 3 homes have reached a new peak in value. At the same time, larger tech based areas such as the Bay Area and Denver and job centers like Dallas and Nashville have experienced an explosion to new highs. Trulia’s report shows more losers than winners across the country and some of these losers are losing at an unprecedented rate. The report shows a little less than 30 metro areas have not even seen 10 percent of its home values recover. Las Vegas, for example, shows less than 1 percent.
The fact that there are so many home values that have not recover from the previous recession is leading some to say that there should not be any talk about a current housing bubble. Adding to that is the fact that there are fewer homes on the market since the bubble burst of 2012.
