The Real Estate Journey - Homeownership Benefits

Homeownership has many benefits: stability, security, and the freedom to make your own space. It also has many financial advantages. Not only will you get the tax benefits of homeownership, but building equity in your home in like a built-in savings plan!

For those of you looking to change your home space including upsizing or downsizing, home equity is the highest it has ever been. The average homeowner with a mortgage is sitting on nearly $300,000 in equity! And nearly 40 percent of people own their home, free and clear.

Now might be a great time to tap into your home's equity and buy the house you really want!  Having a paid off, or almost paid off mortgage might allow you to pay all-cash or only take out a smaller mortgage – which opens a lot of options. You might even consider renting out your current home, but of course consult with your financial advisor and/or C.P.A. before making any move.

When mortgage rates finally start to drop there also will be a flood of eager buyers and sellers. Even now, 32% of buyers are all-cash!
