Owning property has always paid off for us. Just saying. ๐
You've probably heard that mortgage debt in America just hit an all-time high. And that's true.
But here's what the headline leaves out.
Equity is also near an all-time high. And at $34.1 trillion, it's more than double the $14.4 trillion in debt.
That's a good thing. It means most homeowners own far more than they owe. So, they have a real financial cushion right now.
Thatโs something homeowners didnโt have during the crash of 2008. Back then, people owed more than their homes were worth. Today, itโs just the opposite.
Homeowners are in a much better position, and the housing market is on stronger footing than the headlines suggest.
