S&P 500 has outperformed the housing market, Fortune argues
Original: Thinking about buying stocks instead of a home? The S&P 500 has blown away the housing market
Fortune compares investing in the S&P 500 with buying a home, arguing that stocks have significantly outperformed the housing market as an investment. The piece speaks to would-be buyers weighing whether homeownership still makes financial sense amid high mortgage rates and home prices, suggesting putting money into equities instead could deliver better returns.
Why now: High mortgage rates and unaffordable home prices have renters and buyers debating whether renting and investing in stocks beats buying a home.
