Housing in Richmond is a Good Long-Term Investment

Click here to read a new report prepared for the Richmond Association of REALTORS® by the Office of Housing Policy Research at George Mason University. This report provides data and graphs that illustrate the increasing value of homes in the Richmond metro region, the return on investment in a home vs. investing in the stock market, and the difference in wealth accumulation between renters and homeowners.

Please note that because this report studies the "typical" homeownership period, which is nine years in the Richmond area, the data stops with homes bought in 1998 (and thus finishing the nine year period in 2007).
