Well of course I consider my home an investment, and one that I would HOPE goes up in value. Although the last 2 years hasn't been so good, especially with the acquisition of more and more land and more and more building. But, with that said, how could anyone really say they didn't care if the values decreased. My home was sold for 33% more after three years with the previous owner and I've lucky to see the same home increase 4 % a year. I realize I'm probably going to be criticized here and told that " if you don't like it here just leave", but I would suggest that most folks do view their home as an investment, and most folks would certainly hope the investment does well.
