John Bogle Brief: I Ran Real Math on Real Estate vs Stocks Across 50 Years | The Answer Was Shocking

Most real estate versus stocks comparisons declare a winner and move on. The decade-by-decade breakdown tells a different story — stocks dominated the nineteen fifties, sixties, eighties, and nineties while residential real estate outperformed equities in real terms during the inflation decade of the nineteen seventies and produced positive returns across the lost decade of 20,00 to 20,09 when the stock market delivered negative real returns to buy-and-hold investors for ten consecutive years. The comparison that results from running the full record is not a verdict. It is a reframing of the question itself — and the reframing turns out to be considerably more useful than the answer most people came looking for. Financial education and commentary only.
