It has been reported that almost six million adults between the ages of 25 to 34 are currently living with their parents. That number reflects an almost 50% increase since 2003. These young adults are now being advised to jump into homeownership.
It's the parents of these young adults that are giving this advice! They have owned a home and truly understand the value of homeownership. A home has always been a good long term financial investment. However, homeownership also has many other benefits.
In Fannie Mae’s most recent National Housing Survey, they asked the question directly: Is this a major reason to buy a home?
The study broke up the answers into financial and non-financial reasons. The top four reasons and six of the top ten reasons were NON-FINANCIAL. The top four are below:
- It means having a good place to raise children and provide a good education.
- You have a physical structure where you and your family feel safe.
- It allows you to have more space for your family.
- It gives you control over what you do with your living space (renovations & updates).
