The number of U.S. homes sold for $10 million or more has surged in major markets since February .

For some, it’s a way to sidestep market volatility and preserve purchasing power.

Real estate also offers a time-tested way to diversify beyond the stock market.

Warren Buffett has long championed the power of long-term investing, especially through one strategy that doesn’t require stock-picking skills or market timing.

Buffett has built it into his own estate plan — directing that 90% of his wife’s inheritance will be invested in “a very low-cost S&P 500 index fund” after his passing.

The beauty of this approach is its accessibility — anyone, regardless of wealth, can take advantage of it.
