‎”If you worry about what other people think of you, then you will have more confidence in their opinion than you have in your own. Poor is the man whose future depends on the opinions and permission of others. Remember this, if you are afraid of criticism, you will die doing nothing!” Christopher Columbus in the book The Traveler’s Gift.

A recent Fannie Mae study reveals that the majority of Americans still aspire to own a home – and for good reason. Owning a home is critical to financial stability and wealth building. A home serves as a forced savings account and provides a solid asset, as well as a place
to live. Despite the recent market upheaval, the vast majority of Americans still consider home ownership to be important to the economy and preferable to renting. Since the end of World War II, promoting home ownership has been high on the list of the federal government’s priorities, and will continue to be so.

As the graph below points out, the rent vs. buy equation needs to also take into account that rents are subject to increase every year, and mortgage payments remain fixed throughout the life of the loan*. Another key factor in the affordability picture is the federal tax deductibility of mortgage interest, which amounts to an annual savings of thousands of dollars for the average homeowner.

August marks the second consecutive month of increased home sales this year after the first half of the year vied to compete with increased sales from 2010 due to the home buyer tax credits.  According to the Columbus Board of REALTORS®, 1,946 homes sold in August which is 15.4 percent more than the previous year and 4.3 percent higher than July 2011.

Quoted from Columbus Board of Relators.

According to a survey of the Columbus Board of Realtors (CBR) here are some surprising statistics:

1.  47% of the CBR Agents DO NOT have Real Estate as their primary source of income (ex. working other job).

2. 47% of the CBR Agents DO NOT have a college degree – of any sort!!!!

So we are talking about you trusting your most valuable possession (your home) to someone who is part time and not educated?  Sounds like a bad plan to me.  Know your agent!!!

Lorie and I are both Full Time Real Estate Agents and both have College Degrees!  Call Mike and Lorie for your real estate needs and know that we are professionals in this for you!
