Interesting perspective from this article comparing real estate and the stock market.

In Nebraska and much of the Midwest, our housing market tends to be less volatile than many coastal markets. We typically don’t experience the same dramatic spikes — but historically we also avoid many of the dramatic swings.

While today’s mortgage rates feel high compared to the ultra-low rates of recent years, they remain historically reasonable. Rates can often be refinanced over time. Equity growth and long-term stability, however, are built through ownership and time in the market.

And perhaps the biggest difference:
you can actually live in your real estate investment while it works for you.

When it comes to where to put your money, the choice between real estate and the stock market isn't clear—unless you're patient.
