Why do home prices increase over time?

713 views

To be clear, I understand what inflation is, but something that’s only keeping up with inflation doesn’t make sense to me as an *investment.* I can understand increasing value by actively doing something, like fixing the roof or adding an addition, but not by it just sitting there.

In some countries (such as Japan) a home can be a depreciating asset.
