Why Real Estate Remains The Top Long-Term Investment For Americans
With all the headlines circulating about home prices and mortgage rates, you may be asking yourself if it still makes sense to buy a home right now, or if it’s better to keep renting.
Home ownership is still POWERFUL.
Look:
According to the experts at Gallup, real estate has been crowned the top long-term investment for a whopping 12 years in a row. It has consistently beaten other investment types like gold, stocks, and bonds and new favorites like CRYPTO!
“Homeownership has long been tied to building wealth—and for good reason. Instead of throwing rent money out the window each month, owning a home allows you to build home equity. And over time, equity can turn your mortgage debt into a sizeable asset.”
Success Story: Professional Staging Propel A Townhome Under Contact in Record Time
My buyer client recently purchased a charming condominium in Richmond Beach in the heart of Shoreline, recognizing the tremendous value real estate holds as a long-term investment.
The key to this investment is the proximity to great neighborhoods like Innis Arden, an easy commuter spot that’s getting even better with the August arrival of the light rail, and a well-run HOA that has already invested in property maintenance.
This investment exemplifies their strategic foresight in prioritizing real estate as a key component of their investment portfolio and future wealth.
You know what they say:
Don’t wait to buy real estate, buy real estate and wait.
