    aucu....cannot believe you misunderstand...
    the figure you refer to in the rh column...is the median price increase each year....in the cost of houses

    your bank deposit does not increase in value each year...

    the bank may pay you 6% interest now...

    compared to say 4% earnings from rentals on housing

    but the big difference is ......
    if you had money invested in housing it would have grown
    from $250,000 to $560,000 in that 10 year period..

    versus your $250,000 in the bank....is still only worth $250,000 after 10 years....

    hello, most of us 'get it'...an increase of $310,000
    versus ...no growth
    and being kind here.... as most bears would not have $250,000 sitting in a bank, waiting for the housing crash..
