[quote=scaredycat]No. all of those things are way more expensive for the amt of time you’re using it. you’re paying extra to rent the car, the plane seat, for all the convenience. but fi yoou were to use the thing all the time, it’d be cheaper to buyt he tux. you only need the plane seat, the rv and the tux for a couple hours, or days, so you pay an exorbitant price so you can dump it when you’re done…[/quote]
Very true.
However, this is an apples-to-bowling balls comparison.
A perfect market involves goods that are interchangeable and not too costly.
Real estate goods are generally rather distinct, immobile, extremely expensive.
Also, usually those with higher risk tolerances are the ones who gain greater reward potential so it should not be a surprise that desire and demand maintain strength. Whether that reward potential is realized is really a product of the skill of the investor.
