Participant[quote=sdrealtor]The lowered assessments were based upon January 2009 comps which in many cases were as bad as they could be. I have a property listed that got reassessed for $120K but which has no problem attracting offers between 180 and 200K. It aint an exact science out there.[/quote]
Good point. The date for the assessment is almost a year behind the current time frame, so a 5-10% discrepancy due to market increase is feasible. Also, throw in another 5% margin of error in assessing any property and you could easily get a 5-15% discrepancy between today’s selling price and someone’s re-assessed value.

In the 400-year history of the stock market “there has been a long succession of financial bubbles,” says financial historian Niall Ferguson. Who’s the culprit? The Fed
I didn;t even realize that the Fed had been around for 400 years creating all these bubbles.
An alternative conclusion might include that there are components of human nature that drive these bubbles.

The Case-Shiller long-term chart indicated that real estate essentially outpaced inflation over the 116 years or so of the chart.
I would consider outpacing inflation in the long-term as an investment.
Additionally, the case-shiller study indicated price only. It ignores any investment income or maintenance expenses from property. Generally speaking residential rents far exceed monthly costs of maintentance.
So, in the long run it appears that residential real estate outpaced inflation over a 116-year period and provided dividends on top of that.
I do not understand how real estate could not be considered as an investment option. Sure, there are ways to play it speculatively, as there is for stocks, commodities, cash, bonds, etc, but to dismiss it as not being an investment option is absurd.
