Complete Real Estate Resources for Today's Internet Saavy Consumer
You've probably seen lots of financial arguments about why you should own your own home rather than rent. This includes budgeting (no rent increases)and the tax savings you'll most likely have. Here are some reasons that our first-time buyer-clients have shared with us.
Freedom to pursue other goals in life once the major goal of home ownership is achieved. A greater sense of belonging to the community Once you own a home, you may feel more attached to the city in which you live. You're more interested in what happens in town, to the roads, schools, and shopping areas. Some people even become involved in local politics, which you seldom see a renter do. A commitment to something, a sense of stability Home ownership is an anchor, something that cannot be pulled out from under you. It gives you freedom to plan years ahead. You can change things, a feeling of being in control It's your home. You can add to it, remodel it, change the landscaping, do whatever projects you want. At work we don't always have control of what happens, but your home is your castle that you have dominion over. You can see what you're building take shape before your eyes. In a neighborhood, kids usually play in the yards or go to friend's houses a few doors away. In a home you get to know the neighbors and watch out for each other's kids. We've been in a home of our own for so long; we take these benefits for granted. We have forgotten what it's like to be renters! If you have anything you can add to the list, please let us know via email. We'd love to hear from you!
