One of the most powerful — and proven — ways to build wealth in the U.S. is through homeownership. And when you look at the numbers, the difference it makes over time is undeniable.
When you own a home:
Each mortgage payment reduces your loan balance and increases your equity.
As property values rise over time, so does the value of your asset.
You're building a long-term financial foundation, not just paying for a place to live.
According to recent data, the average net worth of a homeowner is dramatically higher than that of a renter:
| Average Net Worth | |
|---|---|
| Homeowner | $396,200 |
| Renter | $10,400 |
That’s nearly 40 times greater.
This gap isn’t just a statistic — it reflects real opportunities to build long-term financial security through owning real estate.
While the benefits of owning are clear, it's just as important to buy when you're financially and emotionally ready. The right time to buy is when:
You have stable income
Your credit and savings are in good shape
You're ready to put down roots for a few years
If you're not quite there yet, that’s okay. The key is to have a plan to get there.
Whether you're ready to buy now or want to start preparing for the future, connecting with a local real estate expert can help you create a path forward.
