Orlando-Area Those who have spent their lives working, caring for families, and making mortgage payments have a bigger net worth by the time they reach retirement age. The primary house is responsible for 90% of the wealth held by families in the United States that own rather than rent, and it accounts for 99% of the wealth held by the lowest 20% of low-income owners.
One of the best ways to amass riches is by purchasing a home. According to the 2019 Survey of Consumer Finance findings, the ownership of a primary house accounts for an average of ninety percent of a family's overall wealth. It's considerably worse for those whose incomes are in the bottom 20 % of the income percentile: The primary house accounts for 99 percent of the overall worth of a family's assets, which is the median value of those holdings. However, it rises to 42% for those in the highest income band, the top 10%.
The acquisition of wealth through real estate takes time. It is accumulated gradually via the reduction of mortgage debt and price appreciation. And even though property values might go down, they often rebound and go up throughout a longer period. The median sales price of an existing house reached $311,800 as of September 2022, representing an increase of 35% since July 2006, when prices reached an all-time high of $230,000.
At the national level, an individual who bought a specific property 30 years ago would gain around $283,000 as of the second quarter of 2022. Price appreciation resulting from an average of 3.7% each year accounts for 67% ($192,600) of the overall wealth increase. Over ten years, the buildup of wealth is $144,490, with price appreciation accounting for $114,233 (or 80%) of this total.
The following metropolitan regions on the East Coast of the United States rank first in terms of both the rate of return (price appreciation less mortgage rate) and the appreciation of property values:
Cape Coral Fort-Myers, Florida; Boise-City-Nampa, Idaho; Grand Rapids, Michigan; Reno, Nevada; Las Vegas-Henderson-Paradise, Nevada; Port-St. Lucie, Florida; San Jose-Sunnyvale-Sta. Clara; Phoenix-Mesa-Scottsdale, Arizona; Riverside-San Bernardino, California and Lakeland-Winter-Haven, Florida.
