If you invested $200000 in real estate in Edmonton, Canada in 1979, 35 years ago, today your investment is worth a cool $ 1 million.

If the money was invested in 1984, it is worth $ 800000.
If the money was invested in 1992, it is worth $ 560000.
If the money was invested in 2007, it is worth $ 150000.
If the money was invested in 2009, it is worth $ 260000.

Note. From 1970 to 2000, the average return is 10%.
