Return on Investment on Real Estate over Time

So what is the return on investment of real estate compared to other investments like the Dow, the S&P, and the NASDAQ. Now after the fiscal cliff has been averted, we are going to probably see some jump up in the Dow, S&P, and the NASDAQ.  But we can still see - if we go all the way back to January 2000 and compare it to January 2013 - thirteen years later, we can see that the investment in real estate, in this country - through these crazy time - was better than investing in any of the stock markets.

Know that over time in this country,  real estate has always been a great investment.  Maybe not short term - from 2006 to 2012, but over the long term real estate has always been a great investment.  Any we are starting to see prices picking up.
