JUNE IS NATIONAL HOMEOWNERSHIP MONTH 🏡🗝️

REASON #2 TO OWN A HOME, NOT RENT

 

It's National Homeownership Month and here's Reason #2 why you should own your own home:

 

THE LANDLORD DOESN'T DECIDE IF YOUR CHILD SHOULD HAVE A BEST FRIEND🐶🐱🐰🐦🐠

 

National Homeownership Month - Reason #2 why you should own, not rent (your landlord shouldn't decide if your child has a best friend)  

 

Can you imagine growing up without a family pet — a loyal dog🐕 or cuddly cat🐈 who becomes your best friend? I know I can’t. Since I was five years old, I've had the joy of sharing my home with a cat, dog, or both. Pets play a vital role in a child’s life in so many meaningful ways:

  • Learning manners and developing responsibility for another living being.
  • Better learning — children with pets tend to be more relaxed, which can support easier and more effective learning.
  • Socialization — pets give kids something to talk about and create a shared interest with peers.
  • Nurturing — caring for a pet encourages children to be more nurturing. This benefit often carries into how they treat siblings and influences how they’ll parent in the future. Boys especially benefit, since nurturing a pet doesn't carry the same stigma they may associate with playing with dolls.
  • Staying healthy — studies suggest pets may boost a child’s immune system, keeping them healthier overall.
  • Building family bonds — shared experiences around a pet help strengthen family unity.

Many rental homes don’t allow pets at all. Wouldn’t it be a relief to know you own your home—and you don’t need anyone’s permission to let your child have a beloved animal companion?

Good points and now I want a kitty or pup... how did that happen Nina Hollander, Broker ?

Andrew Mooers | 207.532.6573 hi Andrew... a house simply is not a home with a kitty or pup... and preferably both! :)

Good morning Nina. I have lived for periods of time without a pet when I was young and periods of time when I had a pet. Preferred the former when younger. These days, just not practical.

As for owning rather than renting, each has filled a needed niche over the years but for 99.44% of people ownership is a better choice. 

Enjoy your day.

Wayne Martin good morning, Wayne... I suspect that at our ages, Bingo will be our last dog. Then again, who knows. But regardless of how old I get, as long as I'm in possession of my mental and physical faculties I expect I'll always have a cat.

So true Nina, homeownership brings more than just financial benefits. The freedom to have a welcoming space for your children and the family's best friend is priceless!

I hate the idea of paying rent, but I love the idea of being a landlord  :)

Nina, if someone CAN buy, they should, but have to be able to live in their new home for 2 years.    The interest rate and home values are causing some buyers to rethink a purchase.

Jun 04, 2025 06:40 AM
Nina Hollander, Broker

Joan Cox hi Joan... I see home values continuing to increase so waiting out a big drop in interest rates doesn't sound smart, as I don't expect rates to drop that much. Too many people think we are going back to 3-4% and I would say not so much.

Nina it can be a challenge to find a rental that allows pets.

George Souto hi George... and if you do find a rental that allows pets, the security deposits can be insane.

Hello Nina and owning your own home lets you do what you want to do, paint the inside what you want, have a dog or a cat also.

Will Hamm hi Will... no doubt about it... lots of advantages to owning versus renting.

Being able to follow our own rules rather than those of a landlord should be reason enough for anyone to want to own rather than rent, haha.

Brian England no argument from me on that score, Brian!
