The Joys of Homeownership
by Carla Hill Today's experts spout off the latest statistics about long-term wealth, home values,and interest rates, yet there's a much more sentimental side to homeownership. Infact, many home buyers are drawn to homeownership for these warm and fuzzyreasons.Owning a home allows you to put down roots, both guratively and literally. Onone hand you become part of a neighborhood and community. When you rent,neighbors come and go as quickly as leases renew. Homeowners, however, tendto stay put longer.What does this mean for you? You can develop, many times, lifelong relationships. This also means your home will see you through many of life's important mile-stones.It makes sense. Many people enter the realm of homeownership as young coupleslooking to build a nest. They plan on starting their own family and need room toexpand and grow. These family homes will see many rsts and will be the contain-er of countless memories. Additionally, homeownership gives families more roomto entertain and this means extended family will also share in building memories.It's not just young families, though, that seek homeownership. Families with teen-agers seek larger homes to room their growing brood. Retiring adults may wish tostart a new phase and new memories, seeking out warmer climates or smaller,more manageable homes. These little moments are what life is all about. Memories from Christmas morningsand summer vacations will ll minds for years to come.On the other hand you literally can put down roots by planting trees and shrubs!Renters are rarely afforded the luxury of gardening. In fact, digging up the land-lord's yard is frowned upon. As a homeowner you are able to create your owngreen oasis, including trees that will mature alongside your children and gardensthat will feed your hungry pack. There is a certain pride that comes with homeownership. This little piece of property and land is yours. There's no one that can evict you or take it away. This security allows people to form deep attachments to both the land and home. This pride of ownership spurs many owners to make improvements and additions,both to keep the home in working order and to make it more comfortable andusable, which in turns improves neighborhood values and overall curb appeal.Why do people buy? They may be initially motivated by changes in circumstance,such as a new job or a new family, but they buy based on emotional responses.People want a house that can become their home, where they'll ll it with goodtimes and memories. Be sure to remember this sentimental side of homeowner-ship the next time you read about stocks, bonds, and housing woes.
HappyThanksgiving!
