Every market has its ups and downs, its pros and cons. Some days, your stocks and bonds might be worth top dollar and other days they might be worth less than when you bought them. It’s important as an investor to keep an eye on what’s going on, but the tides can move so quickly that it is hard to keep track! A more stable market makes for much simpler management of one’s finances and investments, but in today’s turbulent times, a market like that seems hard to find. So, where can you turn?

Real estate, of course! Stocks, which can wildly fluctuate in value in a short period of time, represent a potentially unstable investment. Bonds and mutual funds can present the same problem and are not as profitable as real estate. Changes in the real estate market tend to move in a much steadier and slower fashion. An investment that you can track is one that you can use to your best advantage – and one you can count on. 

Buildings and properties are typically owned by the same person for years. Since buildings don’t change hands often and also because lending rules (for mortgages) are modified to control prices, real estate remains relatively stable. It fluctuates, but not as drastically as other types of investment. After all, housing is a necessity, so the demand for rental properties will always be there. 

Real estate also has the benefit of being real and tangible. Rather than being an abstract concept like stocks, real estate is a solid thing and a limited resource. If you look at the big picture, it all makes sense since it serves a basic need. Doing due diligence when buying a property is easier than when buying another investment as you have full control over it. Meanwhile, banks like lending mortgages and governments have regulations to help balance the markets. Someone who invests in real estate is unlikely to wake up one morning to find that their properties are suddenly worthless.

Real estate works and it’s been proven for a long time. Properties can provide a sense of stability that saves investors the headache of a fluctuating market. That’s just one of the many reasons that investors love real estate!
