Hi Nina Hollander 
I totally agree with you, of course!  Homeownership is a great investment for many reasons, not the least of which is being "rent-free" later in life, after retirement.  I'm loving that!

Hello Nina,  Owning a home is one of the best investment any one can make, and that is no joke.  (By the way I do not play jokes on people either)

I've been enjoying it for 24 years... actually long before I retired.

Hi Nina Hollander, love the title. Regardless of the market conditions, homeownership is always a great investment. Definitely, a lot cheaper than renting.

Ed Silva good morning, Ed... you're right... it's always a good time to become a homeowner. Did you receive the NC post card I sent out about a week ago? Still on the hunt for an SC card.

Paul S. Henderson, REALTOR®, CRS good morning, Paul... that's great that you never lost money on a real estate investment... I've met more than one person who has (maybe that's because they didn't buy with me? )

Roy Kelley good morning, Roy... yes it does and it makes you wonder why some people who can afford to buy a home don't.
