Redwood Area Development Corporation Celebrates National Homeownership Month During June

Redwood Area Development Corporation celebrates National Homeownership Month during June by raising awareness about the benefits that homeownership brings to families, neighborhoods, and communities alike. The real estate market is thriving, and RADC member businesses are striving to make homeownership a reality for individuals who dream of owning their own home. Learn more about why homeownership matters and how you can find connections to help you become a homeowner too. 

Why Homeownership Matters

Owning a home is a cornerstone of the “American Dream”. 

With homeownership, comes a sense of pride, financial stability, and equity. Many homeowners benefit from tax deductions and affordable monthly mortgage payments that are lower than the average rent. Buying a home is considered one of the best and most reliable long-term investments because residential real estate tends to rise in value over the long haul. In addition to the personal benefits, homeownership plays an important role in sustaining prosperous and stable communities. 

Homeownership grows the community tax base, reducing the individual’s tax burden. Research shows that higher homeownership percentages directly correlate with lower crime rates. Homeowners tend to volunteer more, buy more goods and services from local business owners, support local educational systems, and benefit the economy more overall. Homeowners are even more likely to be involved in local civic engagements and elections. An additional benefit of homeownership for the community is that one new job is supported from every two home sales, according to NAR calculations.

Choose Homeownership

Owning a home is widely regarded as one of the best ways to build wealth. Home prices continue to rise, resulting in a higher resale value. Mortgage rates are low and steady, presenting a unique opportunity for homebuyers to purchase with a lower monthly payment. Homeownership has many benefits, but it has to be sustainable for the buyer. RADC can simplify the process and assist you on your journey to making this dream a reality.
