House vs Stock Market ETFs

An argument I’ve always heard in favor of buying real estate is that it is subject to less volatility. Is this really true though? Theoretically, the housing index is less volatile but these are individual houses we are talking about. Versus a basket of stocks, each correlated but not completely with each other, surely individual real estate purchases are more risky?

Just because the direction has been "up" does not mean the behavior of the US housing market in the last 3 years hasn't been anything but volatile.
