Yes, real estate agent hype is often taken as fact. In reality, residential real-estate is a “non-productive asset.” It does not produce anything and therefore does not generate any real economic return. Any investment gains from a home are due to inflation, leverage and the shortage premium in certain areas. The notion that homes can appreciate faster than the rate of inflation forever are ill-founded. It’s more likely that after property taxes, maintenance and improvement that residential real-estate actually has a negative return.
