Why should you even consider home ownership?
Just a few minutes ago I posted a blog, How long 'til we recover? It did not paint a real rosy picture for home values, not in a monetary sense anyway.
Over last several years something has been lost in our perspective on home ownership. Our parents and grandparents bought homes as a place to raise their families. A place to call home that they owned. Home ownership was a long term investment. They didn't buy a home to resell it in 3 years for a profit. They lived there for 20-30 years and had mortgage burning parties when it was paid off. Of course over that long period of time the home also went up in value. But the attitude was to stay, pay, and slowly build equity.
When you OWN your home you can paint it pepto pink with black polka dots if you want to. Try that in your apartment or rental home and see what your landlord says!

If you are not a homeowner then become one! Real estate is on sale right now and the values are great. The real value of home ownership is even greater!
