Buyers’ Tools

For Buyers

Buying a home involves numerous complicated choices, so choose a Guide who can assist you in making intelligent and informed decisions.

Purchasing a home can be one of the smartest investments you make in life, with some of the greatest financial returns. Some people are just lousy at saving money, and a house is an automatic savings account. You accumulate savings in two ways. Every month, a portion of your payment goes toward the principal. Admittedly, in the early years of the mortgage, this is not much. Over time, however, it accelerates.

Second, your home appreciates in value. Average appreciation on a home can be around 4-6 percent, though it will vary from year to year, and from neighborhood to neighborhood. In some years, home values may even depreciate, as we have experienced during this current recession. Over time, though, history has shown that owning a home is one of the very best financial investments.
