Depending on where you live, and want to live, buy a home. Stop paying rent. We retired and bought a older house (built 1970) in a small rural town in Aug 2020. Just checked the Zillow valuation (I know, not that reliable, but when we bought we paid what Zillow valued it at) and it's 'value' has gone up 20%. Plus in a this small rural town our property taxes a 1/3 what they were for the same size house on a much smaller lot close to a city.
That's the same situation in my small town. Property rates way way up. But, afraid of a real estate bubble and getting in trouble. I dunno.
