With most share prices dropping to scary prices. Will we see share investors move into property? I have seen this many times before. But what does our community think? Lets try our first poll. **Will share investors dump there shares and invest in real estate?** _Poll ([view on site](https://newkids.discourse.group/t/q-a-is-now-the-time-to-invest-in-real-estate-rather-than-shares/150/1))_ ---

I think the volatility of the markets might trigger some the older investors to cash up, but unsure if it will help the property market. ---

Hi @chris-newkids. The poll is a good idea. The Trump markets are just in turmoil not good for many super funds. So yes I think property will become more popular.
