in some areas the real esate prices have doubled in the last 10 years ! The centralbank prints money like crazy and in sometime the whole thing goes up in flames ! So, escape into gold, silver, concrete gold, agricultural area, forest etc.. And, will the real estate bubble burst soon ? I do not believe, because as long as the policy of the loose money exists real estates are bought, and/or can be bought because of the low interest rates. Besides, if the system collapses, you still have a house. That's better than a stock that can crash 100%. I really wonder myself like naive persons buy shares. The "internet bubble" already completely forgotten ? Or the German bank. Comes from 60, goes direction 6! How about Lehman brothers ? So much...
