June is National Homeowners Month! Posted on June 3, 2016 by socialmedia by Happy National Homeowners Month! This June let’s take a look at why now is the perfect time to buy a home! Owning a home is an important part of the American Dream and an important milestone in one’s life. Core American values such as individuality, responsibility and self-reliance are key factors in owning a home. There are many benefits to homeownership such as: Homeowners typically stay in their homes longer than renters, creating roots and community involvement. Owning a home is a wonderful environment to raise a family. Having a foundation and longevity in one place creates a bond between family and community. Homeownership improves neighborhoods. Owners are very likely to improve their home and curb appeal and more likely to be a part of local affairs. Owning your own home and paying monthly mortgage payments creates equity, teaches responsibility and how to manage money. Homeownership makes sense from a financial view as well. Looking at a recent report from Pulsenomics, the percentage of income needed to afford median rent is around 30% while the percentage of income needed to afford a median home is only at 15%! Mortgage rates are the lowest they have been since 2007, talk to one of our Wisconsin Mortgage Corporation Loan Officers to see what you could qualify for!
