Some more information to help. Do not give informative and comparisons of the assets. Look at discussion and task above.

Basically, we are discussing property as an asset class vs. equities and bonds, what did bonds and equities have in the past that made them so popular and how real estate as an asset changed over the years comparing to equities and bonds, becoming an attractive investment and why, how did property investment become more similar to bonds and equities that makes real estate investment such a popular asset class today.

In which aspects are property investments different from traditional asset classes? Have these difference narrowed in the last decades? What about different property sectors?
