They can not be compared against each other since these two things are two different asset classes.  They have different risk profiles. 

In general, stocks carry a lot higher risk than real estate.  Properties have two components, land and structure.  If structure is gone, there is a land left except in Malibu, CA.  During the 2008/2009 great depression, the broad stock market droped about 52%, but we did not see the broad property market dropping that much except a couple of areas in Florida, Nevada and Arizona.
