Property versus equities in Australian marketsThere is a lot of talk about housing prices here in Australia at the moment and the affordability for new entrants to the market.
It is always a trade off between investing in property and investing in equities or other asset classes. There are benefits to owning both property and stock.
This graph is a ratio of the market capitalization of two ETFs, one in property, and one tracking ASX 200 equities.
If the graph is going up, then that indicates that property is currently outpacing the ASX 200, and vice versa for going down.
