HOW TO PURCHASE
BUYING A HOME
Why should you rent, instead of buying? You’ll love the feeling of having something that’s all yours — a home where your own personal style will tell the world who you are. A thriving vegetable garden in the backyard, a tiled entryway, a yellow kitchen. When you own, you can do it all your way! There’s more to owning a home than personal satisfaction. For many people, owning a home is the fulfillment of a lifetime dream.
What are the advantages?
- Greater privacy.
- Homes typically increase in value.
- Your costs are predictable and more stable than renting because they’re ideally based on a fixed-rate mortgage, if any.
- The government encourages workers to own homes and have incentive packages.
- There’s pride in home ownership, which also closely ties you to your community.
