One of the really nice things about Homeownership is that it helps you by creating an automatic savings account. Many people are not very good at saving money. By owning a home you can accumulate savings in two ways. Every month a portion of your payment goes directly toward principal. Early in the mortgage very little goes to principal but over time it accelerates.
Second, your home appreciates. The average appreciation on a home is approximately 5%. Your appreciation will vary from year to year, and in some years it may even depreciate. Overtime, history has shown that owning a home is one of the very best financial investments.
