Investing in Homeownership

The purchase of a home has historically been a very good investment, especially over the long term. Scroll to find out why.

Long-Term Appreciation Trends

From Jan 2000–Dec 2022, the average national house price appreciated approximately 197%

According to the S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller Home Price Index.

*Appreciation rates vary widely between different markets and over different periods of time and the calculation depends on the exact period being measured.

Supercharged  Returns

In the event of home appreciation, it can supercharge the return on your cash down payment and closing costs. This is because your home is worth more than your initial investment.

Mortgage 
Equity Growth

Monthly mortgage payments gradually reduce your outstanding loan amount, building home equity. In simple terms, you're paying yourself, not a landlord.
