Americans today are more likely to perceive real estate as the best option for long-term investments, according to a new Gallup poll. The share of survey respondents favoring real estate was 30 percent, compared to 24 percent for gold and stocks.

The preference for real estate appears to track the market’s rebound. | Read More
