Major Benefit of Investing in a Home

One Major Benefit of Investing in a Home

One of the numerous reasons to own a home is that it is a significant means of building wealth and achieving financial stability. Freddie Mac states:

“Building equity through your monthly principal payments and appreciation is a critical part of homeownership that can help you create financial stability.”

With spring approaching, now is an excellent time to examine whether purchasing a home makes sense. The easiest method to determine this is to consult a local and trusted real estate professional. 

Equity constitutes the largest portion of most homeowners' net worth.
You might be shocked to learn how much of a homeowner's net worth is derived from property ownership. The National Association of Realtors (NAR) shares the following:

“Homeownership is the largest source of wealth among families, with the median value of a primary residence worth about ten times the median value of financial assets held by families. Housing wealth (home equity or net worth) gains are built up through price appreciation and by paying off the mortgage.”

 

In other words, home equity contributes the most to the wealth of the average household. And according to data from First American (see graph below), this is true regardless of economic level.

Bottom Line

Regardless of income level, one of the greatest advantages of home ownership is that it provides financial security and a means to accumulate wealth. Let's connect now so you can begin investing in real estate.
