Why it's still a great time to buy a house in today's market!

The financial benefits of buying a home as compared to renting one are always up for debate. However, one element of the equation is often ignored – the ability to build wealth as a homeowner.

Most experts are calling for home prices to continue appreciating over the next several years. The most recent Home Price Expectation Survey, a survey of over one hundred economists, real estate experts, and investment and market strategists, expects home appreciation to increase as follows:

2021: 6%
2022: 4.5%
2023: 4%
2024: 3.6%
2025: 3.5%

Using their annual projections, the attached image shows the equity build-up a purchaser could earn, using a $350,000 home as an example.

A homeowner could increase their net worth by over $80,000 in five years. That’s an average of $16,000 annually. That number should be in any equation determining the financial benefits of owning a home compared to renting.

Bottom Line
Homeowners are going to make a substantial amount of money in home equity over the next five years. If you’re ready to buy a home, talk with a real estate professional today so you can enjoy this great benefit as well.
