PAGE 15-PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1972 REAL ESTATE Real Today By C. Ted Hill Realtor REAL ESTATE VS DOW JONES When talking about for tunes made in investments - the mind normally equates with the stock mar- key. However, when we compare the results over the past decade between stock market profits and real estate increases, we'll see quite a dramatic dif ference in dollars. In the decade from Jan uary, 1960 to January, 1970 the Dow Jones Industrial average jumped from 688 to 800 - an incease of 16 percent in ten years. in 1960, the average sale price for a single fam ily house in many subur ban areas of major cities was $18,307. Ten years later, the average price had increased to $27,022 - an appreciation of 47.6 per cent. Nationally the in crease in real estate value has been somewhat less dramatic - 32% - but even that is double the Dow. No matter how you slice the cake, an investment in real estate over the past decade has proven to double stock market in creases. And the trend appears to be widening in favor of real estate. * * * * * Mr. Hill is Past President of the McHenry County Board of Realtors.
