Why is Home Ownership so Important?

So last week on the Shawn Wilson Show we got into a conversation about home ownership and the American Dream. It’s interesting really because there’s a movement in this country that says that we should accept being a country of renters. These people are absolute idiots and have no idea what liberty and freedom are about….home ownership is simply about Freedom.

Home ownership has a significant impact one people’s net worth, educational achievements, civic participation, health, and overall quality of life. It’s a proven fact that for every house that’s sold, $60,000 is injected into that local community, The National Association of Realtors® estimates that one job is generated for every two home sales.  Using that ratio, 1,000 home sales generate 500 jobs. Not to mention that Real Estate makes up 15% of our Nations GDP. So does Home Ownership matter? You bet it does!

So if you are living the American dream of home ownership, I’m excited for you. If you’re not and you want to, you deserve to. Because people are fighting everyday, and have been for the past two hundred years for Americans to own property.

Cheers Everybody!!
