7 Reasons to Own Your Home

1. Tax breaks: The U.S. Tax Code may allow you to deduct the interest on your mortgage, your property taxes, and other costs involved in buying your home.
2. Appreciation: Real estate has long-term, stable growth in value, and the demand for housing will only increase as the U.S. population grows.
3. Equity: Money paid for rent is money you’ll never see again, but mortgage payments build equity ownership interest in your home.
4. Savings: Building equity in your home is a ready-made savings plan. And when you sell, you can generally take up to $250,000 ($500,000 for a married couple) as gain without owing any federal income tax.
5. Predictability: Although property taxes and insurance costs will increase, fixed-mortgage payments don’t rise over the years, unlike rent. This means your housing costs may actually decline over time.
6. Freedom: The home is yours. Decorate, remodel, and benefit from your investment for as long as you choose to stay.
7. Stability: Establish lasting relationships in your community and keep your children in the same school district.
