🦉 IELTS essays: idea extension 🦉

Topic: "In some countries, owning a home rather than renting one is very important for people. Why might this be the case? Do you think this is a positive or a negative situation?"

Take a look at a piece of the student's paragraph answering the first question. 

📝 "Another explanation for this would be that individuals see home ownership as a form of long-term investment. As a rule, property prices always increase, even during economic recessions, which makes investment into property a worthwhile and less risky decision."

The idea is relevant, but it could definitely use an extension. 

1⃣ My extension: As a rule, property prices always increase, even during economic recessions, which makes investment into property a worthwhile decision that allows the property owner not only to save money from inflation and other financial risks but also to earn even more money should they decide to sell the apartment later. 

2⃣ My extension of the extension: This type of investment is particularly common in countries with unstable economic and political situations where the need to save money is dire.

Now the idea is not only relevant, but also fully extended.

What would be one more reason? Do you think this is a positive or a negative development? When you answer in the comments, make sure to extend the ideas. 📝
