If you’re like most first-time home buyers, you’ve probably listened to friends’, families and coworkers’ advice, many of whom are encouraging you to buy a home. However, you may still wonder if buying a home is the right thing to do. Relax! Having reservations is normal. The more you know about why you should buy a home, the less scary the entire process will appear to you. Here are the top 8 reasons why you should buy a home.

1. PRIDE OF OWNERSHIP

Pride of ownership is the number one reason why people desire to own their home. It means you can paint the walls any color you want, turn up the volume on your stereo as high as you want, attach permanent fixtures and decorate your home according to your own style. Home ownership gives you and your family a sense of stability and security. It also makes a huge investment in yours and your family’s future.

2. APPRECIATION

Although real estate moves in cycles, sometimes up, sometimes down, over the years, real estate has consistently appreciated. The House Price Index breaks down the changes by region and metropolitan area. Many people view their home investment as a hedge against inflation.
