when people sell their shares, they will probably put the money into real estate. and ive been hearing a lot of negative sentiment online about home ownership lately, regarding mortgage, maintenance, taxes, etc., so now might be a good time to buy.
The gains may be low, but they do still hold most of their value. So it's one way to at least "lock in" big gains from the last few years, and also to "wait out" and survive a major stock market drop so you can "buy the dip."
