IIRC real estate prices in the US rise about 1% per year inflation adjusted while stock markets rise about 7 % on average.
YRC. I thought you were forgetting to adjust the stock market returns for inflation, so I went to hunt for more accurate numbers, but apparently 1950-2009 S&P500 inflation-adjusted returns (counting not just price rise, but dividends) averaged to 7% per year.

Thanks. If you care about transaction costs you should probably invest in funds that reinvest dividends automatically.
