Do you have more faith in the housing market or the stock market?

"Housing market by far. More stable and dependable."
-- Mark J., Maryland

"Both, it’s a matter of time. Whether you invest in the equity markets or real estate overtime both will show gains. The difference is you can still enjoy your home in a down market."
-- Cary W., Arizona

"From 1900 to 2000 housing prices stayed even with inflation, while the stock market was a lot higher than inflation, so I'll stick with the stock market. Besides, the liquidity and global nature of stocks makes them more convenient and easier to manage than a bunch of real estate."
-- Ray M., Florida

"I only have faith in the stock market. People with only one house do not benefit at all from rising house prices. In fact, they get hit with higher insurance and property taxes and it is still the same house.
-- Don G., Indiana

"I have more faith in the real estate market given its historical, steady returns. Also, you can live in a house and not in a stock."
-- Kanto E., New York
