TOP 5 REASONS TO BUY A HOME

1

Tax Advantages

Property taxes and qualified home interest are tax deductible. Consult your tax advisor for the latest information.

2

Scheduled Savings

When you buy a home, mortgage payments serve as a type of scheduled savings plan. Over time, you accumulate equity on ownership interest in the property that you can often borrow against or convert into cash by selling the house.

3

Appreciation in Value

A home is likely to be your largest investment. In the long run, appreciation in the value of your home will outpace inflation. You can use the equity in your home as collateral.

4

Stable Housing Costs

Rents typically increase year after year. Depending on the type of loan, the principal and interest mostly remains unchanged throughout the entire payment period.

5

The American Dream

Whether it's your first home or your fifth home, there is a sense of pride in owning your own home, versus being a tenant.
