IS YOUR BEST INVESTMENT REALLY YOUR HOME?

I work with some amazing women in this industry and one of those women who follow my blog (Hi Erin!), shared this awesome thought-provoking chart with me, so naturally, I share all the good stuff with you!

This chart compares a home purchase in 1981 versus purchasing 2 different Invesco Trimark Mutual Funds with the same amount back in 1981 and what they would grow to over the years.

AND what’s even cooler, is that this chart breaks down the average price of a home in different cities across Canada since 1981, so you can check out your city.

One more important question for you to ponder today:

How many times did your mutual fund investments call you to ask for a new fridge, renos, new hot water tank, new roof since 1981?

BOOM!

BOTTOM LINE: Although Real Estate is super important to diversification and flat out pride of home ownership in one of the best countries in the world, it’s also important to not have your eggs in one basket, and in this case, for millions of reasons.
