REAL ESTATE IS STILL THE TOP DOG!
Did you know buying a home can be the best investment you may ever make?
According to a recent Gallup poll, Real estate has been voted the best long-term investment for 11 years in a row, beating out gold, stocks, bonds, and more. That is great news, but why does Real Estate earn the top spot? Owning real estate means more than just having a home, it is a long-term investment for your future and helps your net worth grow. Owning a home is typically a stable and secure asset that tends to increase in value over time and builds wealth regardless of your income level. As a homeowner, you will build equity in your home over the years.
According to Freddie Mac and I quote âHomeownership not only builds a sense of pride and accomplishment, but itâs also an important step toward achieving long-term financial stability.â Today most homeowners have nearly $300,000 dollars of equity built up in their homes.
