Ever wondered why your neighbor's home sold for $50,000 above asking while yours lingered on the market? The answers lie in the massive data revolution happening in real estate. Since 2006, Zillow has collected information on over 110 million American homes, processing 3.2 terabytes of data daily through 1.2 million statistical models. This treasure trove of information has shattered conventional wisdom about buying, selling, and investing in property. Even Warren Buffett took notice, declaring single-family homes an exceptional investment opportunity in 2012 and promptly launching his own real estate brokerage. The Oracle of Omaha's pivot from stocks to residential real estate signaled something profound: the data reveals truths about housing that most Americans have missed. We've been comparing real estate and stocks all wrong. While the S&P 500 shows 8-11% annual increases compared to housing's seemingly modest 4%, this comparison misses crucial factors. When you account for all components - rental income (4-8% annually), tax benefits, and the utility value of living in your investment - residential real estate averaged an impressive 11.6% annual return from 1975-2014, handily beating the S&P 500's 10.4%. Even more compelling is real estate's lower volatility, with standard deviation of returns typically half that of the stock market. The real magic happens through leverage. When you buy a $500,000 home with 20% down, you control the entire asset's appreciation with just $100,000 invested. If the property increases 5% in value, you've gained $25,000 - a 25% return on your initial investment. This explains why homeowners' net worth is typically 40 times greater than renters'.
