“The Advantages Of Buying A Home”

The Joint Center for Housing Studies of Harvard University reported “5 Financial Reasons To Buy A Home.”

1.  Housing is the one leveraged investment available. According to the Harvard report, “Home ownership allows households to amplify any appreciation on the value of their homes by a leverage factor.”

2.  You are paying for housing whether you own or rent. The report states, “Home owners pay debt service to pay down their own principal while the households that rent pay down the principal of a landlord.”

3.  Owning is usually a form of “forced savings.” Harvard research has found, “Having to make a house payment one way or the other, owning a home can overcome people’s tendency to defer savings.”

4.  There are substantial tax benefits to owning. This is because “home owners are able to deduct mortgage interest and property taxes from their income.”

5.  Owning is a hedge against inflation. Research done by the Joint Center for Housing Studies at Harvard University indicates that, “Housing costs and rents have tended over most time periods to go up at or higher than the rate of inflation, making owning an attractive proposition.”
