Even in this Fluctuating Market, There's Value In Owning a Home
home buyers are cautious when buying a home these days because of the fear of dropping prices. A home buyer should just consider buying what they NEED. The end of month payment may be slightly larger than a rental property, but this is largely deductible from taxes at the end of the year and the rent is not. It has been said that children who live in a owned home have a better chance of staying in school than children who live in a home that's rented!! (interesting fact)
home ownership is a good thing. It's good for the economy, it's good for the family and it's a great way to appreciate wealth a little at a time.
