I feel like the very existence of titles like this undermine the real value of home ownership.

So what, it's a place to live, not an investment account. You don't have to sell it for a profit, you just have to live there.

In a world with sufficient housing, homes would mostly sell for the same inflation-adjusted amount. Comparing that to a saving account just seems silly.

But here's another dude doing exactly that.
