Once it appears so easy, the rules will change.... biz.yahoo.com There's nothing dreamy about the advantages of owning a house. In general, a house in the U.S. appreciates 4% to 5% per year. Clearly, the figure varies from neighborhood to neighborhood and region to region, but it's a good rule-of-thumb. Do the math: If you bought a $200,000 house with 20% down--$40,000--and if it appreciates at 5% per year, the value increases $10,000 in the first year. That's $10,000 on a $40,000 down payment, a return of 25%. Try getting that in a choppy stock market.
