(Note: Please Bookmark this Page for Immediate Future Access)

Home ownership has many financial as well as personal advantages over renting. Most people recognize the pride of ownership and building your own equity. Being your own landlord and reaping the tax benefits are also important. However, there are many other reasons for owning your own home.

Home ownership brings freedom and piece of mind. You have achieved a major goal in your life. Many times first-time homebuyers find out that once they have bought their own home, many other facets of their personal life fall into place. Home ownership is not easy and the security that comes from achieving that goal makes other goals easier to achieve.

Home ownership makes people feel attached to the city and people. A greater sense of belonging to the community develops. Home owners tend to be more involved in community events. They are concerned about schools, roads, shopping centers, etc. in their area. Others are motivated to get involved in local politics to create a better community.

Home ownership brings stability and commitment. You don’t have to worry about a landlord telling you to move nor have your children worry about changing to a new school. Planning for the future is much easier.

Home owners are in control of their immediate surroundings. You can decorate and change the décor of the home to meet your taste. Landlords limit what you can do. It’s nice to be able to do things on your own without seeking the approval of someone else. The money and time you put into your home only enhances it value.

It is much easier to settle in and get to know your neighbors. Your children are better able to develop lifelong friendships because everyone knows they will be around for the next several years. You children quickly learn they are in better able to control many aspects of their life.

Finally, the pride that you feel as a homeowner is significant. You have proved to yourself that you can set worthwhile goals and achieve them. It gives you family the security to move forward in live. The equity you build in your first home can be used to leverage your purchase of a nicer home in the future.

Choose your agent wisely. Working with a full-time professional real estate agent is a must. Ask questions of your agent.  Find out how knowledgeable he or she is about houses currently for sale in your price range and also of houses that have recently sold.  Can your agent recommend a good lender that has the reputation of excellent customer service and low rates?  Does your agent ask questions of you to have a full understanding of what you are looking for to help you get the most home for the money?

Do you have questions or need advice you can count on or just want to discuss this further?
