Tracking the Track Record
What the Experts say about Housing Prices

"Houses cost too much for the mass market. Today's average price is out of reach for two-thirds of all buyers. "
- Science Digest 1948 (average price at the time: $8,000)

“The goal of owning a home seems to be getting beyond the reach of more and more Americans.”
- Business Week 1969 (average price at the time: $28,000)

“The era of easy profits in real estate may be drawing to a close.”
- Money Magazine 1981

“If you are looking to buy, be careful. Rising home values are not a sure thing anymore.”
- Miami Herald 1985

Most economists agree…a home will become little more than a roof and a tax deduction, certainly not the lucrative investment it was…”
- Money Magazine 1986

“We’re starting to go back to the time when you bought a home not for its potential money-making abilities, but rather as a nesting spot.”
- Los Angeles Times 1993
Note that 1993 was the absolute low-point
for real estate values in Los Angeles.
Prices have sky-rocketed since.

“Financial planners agree that houses will continue to be a poor investment.”
