Every year, Gallup conducts a survey of Americans to determine their choice for the best long-term investment. Respondents are asked to select real estate, stocks/mutual funds, gold, savings accounts/CDs, or bonds.
For the seventh year in a row, real estate has come out on top as the best long-term investment.
Bottom Line
The belief of the American people in the stability of housing as a long-term investment remains strong, even through the many challenges our economy faces today.
