Why Homeownership is a Smart Investment

Homeownership is the largest source of wealth for families. The median value of a primary residence is about ten times the median value of financial assets. Housing wealth builds through price appreciation and mortgage payments. Nationally, a homeowner who bought a single-family home 10 years ago could have gained $225,000 in equity if sold at the median sales price of $363,100 (National Association of REALTORS).

Renters miss out on equity, mortgage interest deductions, and long-term wealth-building benefits. Although buying a home can be initially expensive, it’s almost always a better investment in the long run. Homeowners’ household wealth is 1,469% higher on average than renters, excluding home equity (Forbes Magazine).

Essential Questions to Ask When Buying a Home
  1. How long has your REALTOR been in business? Look for 5+ years of experience.
  2. Is your REALTOR full-time? Ensure they are available nights and weekends.
  3. How many homes have they closed in the last 12 months? Aim for over 20 to ensure they are market-savvy.
  4. Request a Buyer’s Consultation. Discuss your needs, market conditions, and buying strategies.
  5. Inquire about the age of major home systems like the roof, furnace, and hot water tank.
  6. How long has the home been on the market? Sellers of long-listed homes might negotiate more.
  7. Ask about known defects and request a Home Disclosure document.
  8. Before making an offer, get a reverse CMA to ensure the home is priced correctly.
