Homeownership isn't a shortcut to wealth...it's a Long Game

In a world of streaming and Amazon Prime, we have gotten used to instant gratification.

So it's no wonder some first time home buyers hesitate before investing in real estate.

"I mean, aren't things really expensive right now?"

"Shouldn't I wait until interest rates go down?"

"My rent is about the same as my mortgage payment would be and I don't have to fix any broken appliances."

I get it. Instant, short term, quick wins are very tempting (and in a lot of cases, great options!)

But homeownership isn't a short game. It's not a shortcut to wealth. It's a long game.

You may not feel "wealthy" six months in...2 years in...or even 5 years in. But over time your home value will most likely appreciate significantly.

In fact, according to the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), in the last 30 years, home price appreciation has increased nationally at an average of almost 300%!!! This is why it's hard to find someone who regrets buying a home 30-20-even 10 years ago!

So what does this mean for you if you only plan on living in your home for 5 years?

Don't worry, this is for you, too!

The money that you make when you sell your house after five years can be rolled over and put down on your next house...and so on and so on, so no home purchase is ever in vain. It all leads to long-term wealth.

Stick to Amazon Prime and Netflix for your short game and invest in real estate for the long game.

Please reach out if you have any questions

7 Home Buyer Regrets You Want to Avoid

7 Common Homebuyer Regrets You Want to Avoid

Most homebuyers don’t regret becoming homeowners. In fact, owning a home is one of the biggest contributors to lifestyle satisfaction. But this doesn’t mean that these homebuyers don’t have regrets about their buying choices. Most new homeowners will happily share some of the mistakes they made and how they could have avoided them.

Fortunately, you don’t need to learn from your own mistakes. Here are the 7 most common homebuyer regrets.

1. Spending Too Much – There’s nothing wrong with stretching a little but overpaying for what you really need is the largest regret most new homebuyers have.

2. Not Shopping for a Mortgage – With interest rates on the rise, it’s important to take the time to look at all mortgage options before choosing.

3. Rushing into the Home Purchase – In a competitive market, it may feel like you need to move quickly, but some homeowners later regret the house, the neighborhood, or the city later.

4. Miscalculating the Cost of Homeownership – There are a lot of extra costs to homeownership: maintenance, repairs, upgrades, taxes, insurance, etc.

5. Underestimating the Time or Cost of Renovations – Oh those HGTV shows that make renovations and upgrades look easy. Often, new homeowners find they are incapable of doing the work and wind up with half-finished or poorly completed work.

6. Choosing a Home that Doesn’t Fit – It’s easy to fall in love with a great view or chef’s kitchen, but if you need 4 bedrooms, then buy a home with 4 bedrooms.

7. Not Using an Agent – It’s more common than you think for a homebuyer to walk through an open house and use the seller’s agent to “save money.” They may get a small credit due to lower commission, but they lose having their own advocate in the process.

No one wants to look back at their home purchase and have regrets. Consider these common mistakes before you head out, so you can buy the right home at the right price for your needs.
