Are you tired of renting? We don’t blame you! With rising rent prices, never-ending maintenance requests, and noisy neighbors on all sides, this is a great time to buy your own home from Rockhaven Homes. There are many benefits of owning a home instead of renting; keep reading to learn how you can purchase peace of mind and stabilize your monthly housing costs!
Instead of paying rent every month to a landlord or a housing corporation, you should be paying into real property that builds future equity for you! Home equity is the difference between your home’s market value (what you could sell it for) and your remaining mortgage balance (how much you still owe). As you consistently pay your mortgage each month, your home equity will naturally grow from a reduced loan balance. Additionally, the market value of your home increases with time. The equity you’ve built through homeownership allows you to make money from the initial purchase if you decide to sell later, or you could even convert your starter home to an investment property of your own. Renting, on the other hand, is money that you’ll never see again and only builds equity for your landlord!

Additionally, you may qualify to exclude capital gains (the profits you make from selling an asset) up to a certain limit when you sell your primary residence.

Have you ever experienced the frustration of your landlord raising rent prices without giving you any new perks or amenities? You can make this a thing of the past when you become a homeowner! Fixed mortgage payments remain consistent and won’t come with any surprises. And with our current incentives, you can save up to $19k* on your new home! Refinancing your mortgage is another great option if you want to have a lower monthly payment – known as a rate & term refi. A cash out refi allows you to use the extra money from equity for other expenses or investments.
