Federal Reserve reports...

"the median net worth of homeowning families is more than $200,000 compared with about $5000 for families who rent."

"Home Ownership Matters" is the title to an article featured in Realtor Magazine this month that reiterates the importance of homeownership and refers back to the basic principles our country was built upon. Ronald Phipps, 2011 NAR President, writes; "every home sale and commercial real estate transaction generates direct ecconomic activity and jobs." So, when considering whether or not you should make a move at this point in time, please remember even though you may not recieve what you would have 3 years ago for your property, you will be buying a new place at a decreased price as well. Improve upon your American dream and make our country's economic improvement a priority by way of homeownership.
