[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One thing to keep in mind is your home purchase is usually leveraged, so even though my house has not quite doubled in value my equity has more than tripled in value. Of course in theory you can invest borrowed money in the stock market but it's harder/riskier/more expensive. [/quote] That's a fair point, but how typical is it to triple your house equity, and in what timeframe? The friends i know have perhaps doubled it in 15-20 years, which equals a not that spectacular annual return. (Plus, they rarely factor in costs like property taxes, insurance, repairs...) The NYT had a great rent vs buy calculator, it's very helpful to actually compare the numbers. [/quote]
