The pro’s of owning a home.

Equity

Home equity is the difference between the value of a home and the amount still owed on the mortgage. It's the portion of the home that the homeowner owns, or their interest in the property. Your home's equity can be used for many things including home additions, debt consolidation, adoption expenses, or even an extravagant vacations.

Wealth.

Buying and owning a home can lay the foundations of generational wealth. Home equity can be a valuable tool as you pursue your financial goals. By utilizing your home equity, you can borrow money with competitive rates and flexible repayment terms and avoid taking on higher-interest debt, like personal loans or credit cards. This financing strategy can also be a good option when you plan on living in your home for several years or longer.

Investment

The idea that owning a home can be an investment comes from the fact that, historically speaking, real estate values tend to increase over time. You may decide to use your home equity to buy a rental property that can earn passive income. Once you’ve done your due diligence and feel confident that the investment property is worthwhile, your equity can help you make a cash offer and speed up the closing process, giving you an edge over other buyers.

Quality of life

Homeownership offers personal freedom and a sense of pride in your property. Compared to renters, homeowners report greater self-esteem, a higher quality of life and feeling more in control of their lives. Owning your home means stability. Home ownership can provide stability for children, which some literature suggests can lead to positive outcomes. It can also signify financial security and independence, and can help families from underserved communities feel more connected to their neighborhoods.
