Why Buy?
Pride In Owning
Most people buy homes to have control over where they live. Although investment features are important, the psychological reasons for buying - the satisfaction of owning and freedom from paying rent - are at least as important.
Dislike Paying Rent
Renting offers a lifestyle that's nearly maintience free, that may appeal to you, but consider that renting offers you no equity, no tax benefit, and no protection against regular increases. Writing a rent check is just like watching your hard earned money sail away.
Settling Down
More then 6 of 10 renters said settling down was an important reason to buy.
Good Investment
76% of owners said the investment aspect of ownership was important.
Tax Advantages
Property taxes and qualified home interests are deductible on schedule A, for itemized deduction.
Long-Term Appreciation
People consider home ownership a good investment because they view it as a long-term investment.
Sacrifices Are Worth It
Almost 7 in 10 renters in the national association of realtors home ownership survey said they planned to buy a home in the future. More than three quarters said they were willing to sacrifice to do that.
