What History Tells Us About Wars and Real Estate? 🤯

Hi ,
How Wars Change Countries and Markets?
Wars can change countries a lot, and they also change markets.
History shows that when investors act quickly and buy assets, they usually come out on top.
What History Tells Us:
After World War II, building new homes almost stopped. But when soldiers returned home, there was a huge demand for houses, and home prices went up a lot.
Many veterans started families and needed places to live, leading to a boom in real estate.
For example, during World War I and World War II, the market for homes slowed down while the wars were happening.
But once the fighting stopped, home prices shot back up. The lack of new homes during the war created a big need for them afterward, which helped prices rise.
Studies show that factors related to war have a big impact on real estate prices—more than things like the age or size of a house.
Why Buying Assets is Smart:
Historically, after a war, the best move is to buy real estate—like land and houses—while prices are lower and builders can't keep up with demand.
As Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, famously said, “The best time to buy a property is when you have the money.” Once rebuilding starts, more people want homes, and investors can make a lot of money.
Why This Moment is Important:
Right now, global tensions are slowing down new construction, which means fewer homes are being built. After a crisis, governments often make it easier to borrow money to help stabilize things, making it a good time to invest in real estate.
As real estate expert Barbara Corcoran says, “Don't you dare underestimate the power of your own instinct.”More and more smart investors are realizing that property can be a safe and profitable investment, even when things are uncertain.
As Warren Buffett wisely noted, “Price is what you pay. Value is what you get.”
