FREEMAN: Real Estate Tops Gallup’s Investment Poll For Best Long-Term Investment For Seventh Year

By  //  June 24, 2020

For the seventh year in a row, real estate has come out on top as the best long-term investment

BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – 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.

“Historically real estate has always been a strong investment,” says Jennifer McCoy Broker/Owner for McCoy-Freeman Real Estate serving all of Florida’s Space Coast.

“According to the Gallup survey, more than a third of Americans have named real estate as a top investment since 2013, when the housing market was on the rebound,” says McCoy.

Americans have become less likely to view stocks or mutual funds as the best long-term investment after U.S. markets dropped by more than a third as the economic implications of the coronavirus outbreak set in last month.

This year’s results indicated 35 percent of Americans chose real estate, followed by stocks at 21 percent.

The full results covering the last decade are shown in the chart below:

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.
