June is Homeownership Month

Land Home Financial and its new homeowners are celebrating National Homeownership Month in June. And with good reason: New research shows a household’s primary residence is its largest asset and continues to provide an important building block for long-term financial security.

One Quarter of All Assets

The latest edition of the Survey of Consumer Finances, published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, reports that the primary residence accounts for about one-quarter of all assets held by households in 2016, ahead of other financial assets, business interests and retirement accounts.

“Homeownership is a primary source of net worth for many Americans, and is an important step in accumulating personal financial assets over the long term,” said Randy Noel, NAHB chairman and a custom home builder.

Land Home Financial Loan Officers and Realtor Partners have a great opportunity to promote the benefits of homeownership during National Homeownership Month. Let’s see as many as we can get into a new home. With our mortgage products, expertise and sincere care, we can do it!!

Owning a Home Stabilizes Families

To have a place called “home” is priceless in stabilizing the growth and security of each member of the family. When a parent knows that their kids are safe, happy and have a place of their own, then they can be all they can be to provide for their household. For a child to know that their home and life is stable enables them to be free to grow, play and learn to be the best they can be and enjoy living.
