This year, more than ever, home is where the heart is.

 

There's no doubt that homeownership has financial benefits, but what's frequently neglected are the sentiments of appreciation, stability, pride, and comfort that come with owning a house. This year, those feelings are more intense than ever. We've lived through a period that has fundamentally altered our wants and identities, and as a result, homeownership has taken on new significance for many of us.

 

As a country, we are still dealing with the effects of a pandemic that has pushed us all to new heights. We've spent more time at home than ever before in the last year and a half, working, eating, learning, exercising, and so on. Our surroundings altered practically instantly, and our houses were redefined. Our requirements changed, and our shelters evolved into a location that provided us with protection on a whole new level.

 

As we've seen throughout this health-care crisis, homeownership can provide the safety and security we seek in times of adversity. That sense of belonging and emotional stability extends far beyond the financial aspects of home ownership.

 

Whether you're thinking about purchasing your first house, upgrading to your ideal home, or downsizing to something that better fits your changing lifestyle, consider what Mark Fleming, Chief Economist at First American, has to say: “Buying a home is not just a financial decision. It’s also a lifestyle decision.”

In conclusion, If you're thinking about buying a house, it's not all about the money. Don't forget to consider the non-monetary benefits that could truly change your life when you need them the most.
