Home Ownership, Yay or Nay?

With interest rates reaching new heights every few months, is this still the time to buy a new Door County home?

The answer is absolutely.  Historically, rates are still lower than they were 40 years ago (even 25 years ago) and this re-blog of an excellent post shows how home ownership is still the true path to wealth.  Remember, renting is making some ELSE wealthy.  If you're searching for a Door County dream home, I can help.  View the entire Door County MLS at moredoorcounty.com today.

 

Door County Dream Home

Original content by Doug Dawes 92593-B

It's the Great American Dream that most people strive for. Some buy big homes and others buy smaller homes and some will always rent. But, in the end, owning a home has many benefits and is the best way to accumulate wealth. 

Homeownership Wins Over Time

Some Highlights

  • If you’re questioning whether or not to buy a home this year due to today’s cooling market, consider the long-term financial benefits of homeownership.
  • As a homeowner, equity increases your wealth. On average, nationwide, home prices appreciated by 290.2% since 1991.
  • Homeownership wins in the long run. If you’re ready to buy a home, reach out to a local real estate professional today.
