Should You Buy Real Estate Now That Stocks Are Crashing?

It's been a volatile week for the stock market, to say the least. And many investors are now sitting on paper or on-screen losses in their portfolios compared to where they were at the start of the month.

Granted, this recent upheaval shouldn't have come as much of a surprise to seasoned investors. Not only have stocks generally been overvalued for a long time, but the events of the past week could also be attributable to the Federal Reserve's plans to raise its interest rates this year, as well as a delayed reaction to the omicron surge.

If the recent stock market sell-off has you shaken up, you may be wondering if it's time to branch out and spread your money around. But should you look at investing in real estate? And is that less risky than stocks?
