Investing in homeownership is one of the smartest financial decisions you can make, especially in today’s economic climate. With inflation on the rise, protecting your portfolio is crucial, and real estate offers a stable and appreciating asset over time.
Owning a home provides numerous advantages:
- Stable Payments: A fixed-rate mortgage ensures predictable monthly payments, even if taxes and insurance rates change.
- Tax Benefits: Mortgage interest, insurance premiums, and property taxes can be tax-deductible.
- Freedom to Renovate: Homeowners can make any desired changes or renovations without needing landlord approval.
- Access to Funds: A Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) allows you to finance home improvements, renovations, or other needs.
Over the past quarter, homeowners gained an average of $34,300 in equity. The average homeowner now holds $300,000 in total equity, with homes selling for a median of $85,000 above the purchase price.
