Having over 20 years of Real Estate experience, I want to share with you some of the reasons why I feel homeownership is the way to go.

Financial Benefits of Owning of Home

• Long term mortgage is cheaper to pay off than to rent. Interest payments on a home loan gets less over time, thus building wealth and equity over the years.

• Unlike rent, a fixed mortgage can’t go up (even if inflation does). By locking in on current low interest rates you will be taking a big step in protecting your family against inflation.

• Capital gain benefits are an important tax savings on the eventual sale of a home. Currently, married people are exempt up to $500,000 and singles up to $250,000

• Property tax is also fully tax deductible.

Social Benefits of Owning a Home

• One study by NAR (National Association of REALTORS®) demonstrated how the American Dream of owning a home leads to positive changes in our physical, emotional and mental health.

• Children of home owners feel more secure as they do not move around often making it more likely that they succeed in school.

• The sense of belonging to a neighborhood or community leads to more participation in groups and organizations while contributing to positive outcomes and making a difference.
