According to a "Home Ownership Survey" by Neighborhood Housing Services, home ownership enhances the quality of life and financial positions of most homeowners, in most cases.

The reasons for this are:

* Increases in home value, if not in the short term, most likely in the long term.
* Interaction with neighbors, sometimes it may not be pleasant
* Better conditions and amenities in the new neighborhood than in the previous one, hopefully

I hope your experience is similar and that you enjoy your home!
