The Hidden Value of Home Ownership
What do you see as the value of home ownership? For many people, particularly in San Diego, a home is the largest asset they will own. The equity in your home can help you build your wealth. And that is very important… it’s one of the reasons I became a mortgage broker.
The value that many people overlook when thinking about the value of home ownership is what it does for community. Home ownership gets owners more invested in their communities, because they plan to live there for a long time and care about the longer term value of their home.
Communities with high ownership levels tend to have better schools, lower levels of crime, and more community involvement overall. So when we are helping people getting a mortgage for a home, it’s about more than just that one home. It is about helping to build and sustain that community.
It’s a benefit that we really care about. Many of us at Global Mortgage are long-time San Diegans and we want to keep it a strong community. That is why we work hard to help our clients find a mortgage that is a good fit for them. It helps our client and helps keep the community strong.
And when you are looking for a home, it’s good to choose a place where home ownership is high or growing. It is likely to be a stronger community that will also keep the values of homes increasing over time. To get started, please give us a call today at (619) 692-3630.
