Buying a home is usually the biggest purchase in anyone’s life. It provides a sense of accomplishment and pride. Homeownership is a pathway to improve educational outcomes, healthy living, and social stability.
While homeownership may not be the right choice for everyone, owning a home is a powerful way for families to build a better future for themselves and future generations.
Benefits of Owning a Home
Homeownership offers a sense of stability and security. Homeowners have more control over their living space and can make longer-term plans. They can also foster a sense of community and belonging in their neighborhoods. If the pandemic taught us anything it’s the importance of home to one’s well-being.
While no one policy will close the wealth gap, homeownership has proven to be one of the best ways of building sustainable intergenerational wealth. Homes often increase in value over time. As homeowners pay off their mortgages, they build equity that can be used to fund their lives, including retirement or education.
