Owning a Home is a good investment...

Year after year, study after study, in a good market or a down market, the story is always the same....... Owning a home is a good investment...   Not only does it build wealth over time but provides excellent psycological and emotional benefits too.  "a place to call home"  a place for your "stuff", a place that you can rearrange to suit your needs, Your spot in the world.

A survey from earlier this tear indicated that 8 in 10 folks said that homeownership is still a good investment and a source of pride. Even 69% of Americams who don't yet own their own home,  count it amongst thier important goals in life.

With interest rates still hovering on their historical lows, and financing avilable to so many, now is the time to step up and find out what you can afford, you might just be surprised when you compare it to that pile of rent receipts!

How is owning a home in a down market a good investment?

It's not. It's an even worse investment when you realize that when the historically low interest rates rise, prices will be pushed down further.
