There are numerous benefits to owning you own home, but here are just a few for you to consider:
Income Tax Savings - You can benefit greatly from the tax savings you get from the mortgage interest deduction you receive come tax season. This is one of the attractive components of financing a home.
Forced Savings - Let's be honest, one of the biggest problems we all have is saving money. Owning a home allows you to build equity in an asset and essentially create a savings account instead of throwing money away on rent. In most cases, if you stay in the home for 2+ years all equity gained from the appreciation is your TAX-FREE.
Stable Monthly Housing Costs - When you purchase a home, buyers usually will get a 30 year fixed mortgage that will allow them to lock in a monthly payment for 30 years. Even when inflation drives the rent prices up, you will be locked in and you will be saving a lot of money each month allowing you to spend it (or SAVE it) elsewhere.
Stable Housing - If you own your own home, you are in control of your own life. In most rental contracts, a landlord can give you 30-60 days notice and you will have to move. In a tough rental market (like we are in now), rentals can be leased out in a matter of hours. It may be tough for you to find somewhere to go and not to mention other difficulties like staying in your childrens same school districts.
