Because I work in real estate finance and my husband is a building contractor, we understand how to make money in real estate -- on the other hand, looking at the stock portfolio just raises my blood pressure. I'm a "buy something, hold on to it for 30 years and hope for the best" kind of stock investor.
No one way is "best" for everyone. It's important to save and invest -- and it's most important to understand what you're doing (and be comfortable with your decisions) when making investments.I think the key statement in your post is that you feel more comfortable with a giant stock portfolio than real estate (or something like that!).

Maybe they are not aware that prices in your area haven't dropped enough to make it a good buy like their friends are getting.
The bottom line is you don't have to buy a house to live in... you can buy a studio, 1 bedroom, etc in a decent area near by where prices have bottomed out and hire a management company to manage it for you just as long as the rent you get covers all your associated expenses and put positive cash flow in your pocket... so think "Investment" rather than "Home".
Remember also that with home ownership you get lots of tax breaks no other investment can give.

Yes, it is not an easy thing one can deside within one minute. Rent or own? Do what you think is right.It seems that it is not just young couples here in China mainland are considering whether to be homeowners or not.

I doubt if that's true for most people, but my apartment is both cheap and includes a lot of stuff that I'd otherwise have to pay for. (Heat, water, sewer, garbage, and basic cable are all included in the rent. After those things, plus maintenance and insurance, a house is more expensive than what I'm paying, even before you take the mortgage into account.)I ran the numbers a while back, and discovered that you could give me a house for free, and I still couldn’t live in it as cheaply as I can live in my current apartment.
