Unless the walls are lined with crepe paper

August 26th, 2007 by Talboito

Yves Smith claims an interesting factoid:

Robert Shiller tells us that housing prices since 1890 (no typo) have appreciated 0.4% a year. Historically, a CD has been a better store of value than a house.

That certainly doesn’t feel true, but then the Bay Area can be a distortionary place about these sorts of things.
