I understand Real Estate can come down when SNP index crashes, but in 2000 and 2009, Boston Real Estate didn't go down much, maybe 5%.
Real Estate prices move slower then SNP index. They don't drop 25-30% in weeks or even months.
So I'm thinking if I hold my Real Estate, and if if SNP drops 35%, then sell the Real Estate to buy the SNP index at a good sale. One problem is people said you can't time the market, and maybe SNP never drops 35% in the next few years.
Or I could sell my real estate now, (I almost doubled by down payment in 4 years after fees) and buy SNP index. People are saying SNP index is high, but you can't time the market.
Trying to brainstorm to get both sides of the argument.
Thanks!
