Buying a house can have an advantage over stocks in the leverage you get with a mortgage, and in certain cases tax incentives. Whether that’s enough to compensate for the better returns of stocks is the hundred thousand dollar question.
- Aulig 5y agoTax incentives depend on your legislation, but they can make a difference, yes. Leverage also comes with higher risk, which makes it a bit of an unfair comparison in my opinion. If you really wanted, you could also use leverage on your stock investments, but I personally would never do that.
