What a difference a year makes

If you own any real estate, you’ve made a wise choice.

Real estate provides the highest returns, the greatest values, and the least risk.

The above graph shows that historically, real estate values rise. In the last year alone, values increased around 4.5%. If you had purchased a house, you would already have earned equity in the home but also not lost thousands of dollars to rent.

When you own your own home, nobody can raise your rent. Nobody can ask you to vacate in 30 days. You can paint whatever color you like and have pets. Paying rent is paying the mortgage on a house you will never own.

I’m now working with some first-time buyers who weren’t sure they were ready to buy. After speaking with me and meeting with a lender, they are in escrow and preparing to move into their home.

Let’s make this year the year you become a homeowner. I’ll buy the champagne!
