🏡 Homeownership Pays Off: $140K Wealth Growth in 5 Years

“The record high median home price highlights how American homeowners’ wealth continues to grow—a benefit of homeownership.”

Thinking about buying a home? Here's a powerful reason to act: the average American homeowner has gained $140,900 in wealth over the past five years, according to Lawrence Yun, Chief Economist at the National Association of Realtors (NAR).

📈 Why This Matters

This impressive equity growth isn’t just a coincidence it’s the result of rising home values and consistent investment through homeownership. Unlike renting, owning a home builds long-term financial security. As property values appreciate, so does your personal net worth.

💡 What This Means for You

• For Buyers: Now is the time to invest in your future. Even in a market with rising prices, owning a home can lead to substantial long-term gains.

• For Homeowners: Your property is more than just a place to live it's a wealth-building asset.

• For Sellers: If you’ve owned your home for a few years, you’ve likely built significant equity you can now leverage for your next move.
