The Social Benefits of Home Ownership

Gary, thanks for sharing the infograph - another good reasons to becom a homeowner!

Yes there are some really good reasons to become a homeowner.

It all sounds good but I wonder about the cause and effect. I think it is people who are already engaged who buy houses, not that buying a house magically makes you get involved. I relate it to something like becoming involved in PTA at your child's school. The PTA doesn't make you more involved in the school--you have to  be a caring person in the first place before you join.  So in taking a look at a group of homeowners, you are looking at people who cared enough to save money for a down payment or had a clever Realtor® and lender who found a way to make it happen for them.

great info. I'd like 'borrow' it, if the California Association of Realtors doesn't mind!

That's very interesting and brings a whole new way to look at and value homeownership.

I've heard these stats before, but I always feel bad for people reading this, who aren't renting by choice but can't hope to buy a home. I guess that's why I love what Habitat for Humanity does so much.

I missed this infographic somehow. It certainly does an efficient job of presenting some positive aspects of homeownership. WIll have to share on my outside blog.

That's right Gary,

It's all about "Roots". Owning a home is putting down roots; committing to a community.

Thanks for sharing Gary.  We love those infographic.  A picture is worth a thousand words!

Interesting but I was hoping it would be a bit more 'meaty'.

Gary great explanation, very educational and we all like infographic...Thanks for sharing!!
