\"84%<\/p>\n

According to the National Association of Realtors\u00ae\u2019 2017 National Housing Pulse Survey<\/em><\/a>, <\/em>84% of Americans now believe that purchasing a home is a good financial decision. This is the highest percentage since 2007 \u2013 before the housing crisis. Those surveyed pointed out five major reasons why they believe homeownership is a good financial decision:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Homeownership means the money you spend on housing goes towards building equity, rather than to a landlord<\/li>\n
  2. Homeownership creates the opportunity to pay off a mortgage and own your home by the time you retire<\/li>\n
  3. Homeownership is an investment opportunity that builds long-term wealth and increases net worth<\/li>\n
  4. Homeownership means a stable and predictable monthly mortgage payment<\/li>\n
  5. Homeownership allows for various deductions on federal, state, and local income taxes<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The survey also revealed that the majority of Americans strongly agree that homeownership helps create safe, secure, and stable environments.<\/p>\n

    Bottom Line<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    Homeownership has always been and still is<\/em> a crucial part of the American Dream.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
