June 2017 Is National Homeownership Month

By
Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Realty 179530

 

June has arrived and that means it's National Homeownership Month once again! 

 

"Finding Your Place in a New Era of Homeownership" is the theme of the 2017 month-long recognition reinforcing the long-held belief that owning a home remains one of the cornerstones of the American Dream. As President Trump's proclamation of National Homeownership Month said:

 

"During National Homeownership Month, we recognize the many benefits of homeownership to our families, our communities, and our Nation.  For generations of Americans, owning a home has been an essential element in achieving the American Dream.  Homeownership is often the foundation of security and prosperity for families and communities and an enduring symbol of American freedom.  This month, we recommit to ensuring that hard-working Americans enjoy a fair chance at becoming homeowners."

 

10 GREAT REASONS TO BECOME A HOMEOWNER IN 2017

 

June Is National Homeownership Month

 

National Homeownership Month began as a week-long celebration/recognition of the value of homeownership during the Clinton presidency in 1995. In 2002, President George W. Bush proclaimed June as National Homeownership Month. Below is an excerpt from President Bush's proclamation setting aside the entire month of June as National Homeownership Month:

 

“Homeownership is an important part of the American Dream…A home provides shelter and a safe place where families can prosper and children can thrive. For many Americans, their home is an important financial investment, and it can be a source of great personal pride and an important part of community stability.”

“Homeownership encourages personal responsibility and the values necessary for strong families. Where homeownership flourishes, neighborhoods are more stable, residents are more civic-minded, schools are better, and crime rates decline.”

 

“During National Homeownership Month, I encourage all Americans to learn more about financial management and to explore homeownership opportunities in their communities. By taking this important step, individuals and families help safeguard their financial futures and contribute to the strength of our Nation.”

Good  morning Nina Hollander ,

Great shout out for National Homeowners month! So many good reasons  to own rather than rent. One of my sellers recently closed and bought a property to live in while their new home I representing them on is being built. They did not want to pay $2,400 a month rent for 6 months ($14,400) when they could spend that money on a rental property they wanted to add to their investment portfolio.

Dorie Dillard ~ thanks, Dorie. I've worked with so many buyers in the past few years who are saving hundreds of dollars each month on their mortgage versus paying rent. And rent rates keep escalating in my area, as well.

Kathy Streib ~ hi Kathy, thanks. Since schools start here by third week of August in many counties, now is the perfect time to buy for someone who wants their children in a specific school district.

I don't know how effective these "National ______ month"'s are.  A couple of months ago it one day was national Margartia Day.  Then a couple of days later it was National Tortilla Chip day.  I don't know when National Salsa day is, but it seems to me that someone should coordinate these things.  Everyone knows you need salsa with chips and then Margaritas follow that, because you're thirsty!

Just my observation on these things.

I guess June is one of the best months to declare that but as a REALTOR® every month is a good one for that.

George Souto ~ hi George, from my perspective any month is a good month to add to homeownership rolls, but glad that our Presidents continue the tradition of June being National Homeownership Month.

Joe Pryor ~ exactly, Joe! From where I sit any month is a good month to become a homeowner, but it's good to see that the message is sent out each year as to why.

Mick Michaud ~ hi Mick... those "national" days or months that you mentioned are not official observations endorsed by the US Government, the way National Homeownership Month is. As real estate professionals, I believe we need to do everything we can to encourage residents of our communities to become responsible homeowners... we only benefit from that.

Rebecca Gaujot ~ hi Rebecca, I have the sense that people have woken up to the fact that it's a good time to buy a home... the real problem now is finding them the inventory to sell and to keep them from getting discouraged when it's tought finding a home in a more modest price range.
