First Time Home Buyer's Guide
Are you thinking about buying your first home?
If so, you're not alone. According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR) 2022 Home Buyers and Sellers Generational Trends Report:
- 34% of home buyers are first-time home buyers
- 81% are young Millennials.
Owning a home is not only a privilege for the rich. If you are still contemplating whether buying a home is the right choice, here are three reasons why you should own your own home:
Stability and Security
Owning a home provides stability and security that renting simply can't match. When you rent, you're at the mercy of your landlord – if they decide to raise your rent or sell the property, you may have to move. But when you own your home, you can rest easy knowing that no one can kick you out without cause.
Control Over Your Living Situation
When you rent, you're limited in what changes you can make to your living situation. But when you own your home, you can paint the walls any color you want, install new flooring, and even landscape the yard to your liking.
Invest in Your Future
When you rent, you make your landlord richer while staying in the same place. When you own your home, you're investing in your future and building equity that you can tap into later down the road. What's more, your property will likely increase in value, and all your home renovations will be added to your home value. Did you know that homeownership can help reduce your overall tax burden yearly?
