It’s impossible to describe the feeling of owning a home in a way that people that have never owned a home can really understand. It’s that first visit to the home after closing on the mortgage, when you look around knowing that the house and everything in and around is YOURS. It’s like the ultimate Christmas present that can never be matched. Everything changes. The way you look at the outside of the house. The way you look at the inside. The grass. The plants. Everything.

When people own a home they take pride in the way everything looks much more than if they leased or rented. There is more of a desire to invite others into their home to let friends experience the positive environment they have created. 

It’s like the ultimate freedom to live as you wish to live. 

In addition to the pride of ownership and joy that comes from owning a home, there are other great benefits that can’t be matched as well. Here are a few significant ones that will help make owning a home the ultimate choice for living.

1)   Financial Benefits:

• In most cases mortgages are less expensive than paying rent, so it’s more economical to own.
• A home has always been one of the safest and most fruitful investments around. Many times it’s a small amount of YOUR money tied up in the house when you own (compared to what the lender has tied up), but the return via appreciation can be very significant. And the best part is that the homeowner doesn’t have to share the appreciation with the lender when the house sells. The homeowner gets the appreciation on the lender’s money. That’s some serious money leverage!
• Having a home mortgage interest deduction on your taxes is a huge benefit over renting and getting zero deduction. The tax deduction could be the equivalent of having the government pay for anywhere from 10-20% of your house payment.

2)   Stability and Quality of Life

• Studies have shown that the more stable and consistent a person’s environment the healthier and happier they are. Owning a home is one foundational component of providing that perfect environment for a family.

3)   Improvements

• Many people really enjoy working on their own home to make it better. It could be working to make the yard beautiful, improving the look of the inside or outside, or even remodeling a kitchen to change the look, feel or function. Many of these projects increase the value of the home, but they also give a sense of working together and vision and purpose for a family.
