American IRA Responds to FHFA Report: Real Estate Remains Strong for Self-Directed IRA Investors

As U.S. home prices rise, investors look to real estate inside retirement accounts for greater returns and long-term growth.

ASHEVILLE, NC, UNITED STATES, March 27, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) has released its latest House Price Index report, showing a 0.2% increase in home prices for January 2025 and a 4.8% rise over the past 12 months. American IRA, a leading provider of self-directed IRA services, sees this as further evidence that real estate continues to be a powerful asset class—especially for investors looking for higher returns outside the traditional stock market.

“At American IRA, we’re seeing more investors turn to self-directed IRAs as a way to access alternative assets like real estate,” said Jim Hitt, CEO of American IRA. “When housing prices are climbing steadily like this, the opportunity to generate strong, tax-advantaged returns through rental income or property appreciation becomes even more compelling.”

Unlike mainstream IRAs, self-directed IRAs allow individuals to invest in a wide range of alternative assets—including real estate, private lending, precious metals, and more—while enjoying the same tax-deferred or tax-free growth potential.

The latest data from FHFA underscores a trend that savvy investors are already acting on: In a tight housing market with rising home values, real estate can serve as both a hedge against inflation and a vehicle for above-average gains. With the right strategy and custodial support, investors can harness these gains within their retirement accounts.
