"Housing, after all, is the ultimate commodity.
Every home is a basket of materials like steel, wood,
and copper wiring that, when combined with the cost
of land and labor, becomes a store of value for every
commodity that's gone into the home's construction.
It's this tangible quality that ties the longterm
price of a house to its cost of production and makes
a home such a fundamentally different kind of investment
than a stock or a bond" - Lawrence Yun, Chief
Economist of the NAR.
