REALTOR Magazine recently published this article indicating owning a home is still the best investment for the future. It did acknowledge some areas of the country are still experiencing negative equity but even in those areas, people that have owned their homes for 10, 20, or 30 years still have respectable equity in their homes. As quoted in the article “The data clearly show that homeownership remains the biggest store of wealth for the typical household even when markets are buffeted by some admittedly very rocky years”

So take this information and share it with your buyers and sellers. Be the voice of optimism. Go out and share the positive attributes of homeownership.
