Buying a Home is a Smart Investment
Even with today’s interest rates, a home can be a smart investment in the long run. Here’s why:
Home Values Rise Over Time
Home prices have increased steadily since the 1940s. If you plan to stay in your home longer than a few years, your dream home can also be a sound investment.
Home Related Tax Benefits
The home mortgage interest deduction enables you to subtract your mortgage interest payments from your federal taxes on the first $750,000 of your mortgage loan when you opt to itemize your deductions.
Future Opportunities to Refinance
Mortgage interest rates are subject to change over time. If rates decrease, you may have the option to refinance your mortgage, leading to a reduced interest rate and lower monthly payments.
