There’s a reason why owning a home is considered a major part of the American Dream. Buying and owning a home opens a doorway to new opportunities. It is an impressive accomplishment that allows you to put down roots and transition to an exciting, new phase of life. Whether you opt for a traditional single-family home with a white picket fence or a modern condo with just enough space for one, buying a home means that you’ve reached a goal that millions dream of accomplishing. At Movement Bank, our goal is to make your dream a reality.
Every dollar you pay toward your mortgage is building equity. That means you’re putting money toward something that’s increasing the value of what you own. There’s a very high chance that you could sell your home for more than you bought it for, so it’s an investment that will pay off financially. When you rent, the money you pay is still giving you a place to live, but it’s not giving monetary value back to you.
Buying a home gives you the freedom to customize it (barring restrictions from an HOA). No more trying to convince a landlord to let you paint, add shelves, or remodel the bathroom. You can create a space that reflects your style, preferences, and well-being. That level of control can be extremely rewarding.
There are tons of financing options available to you, and teaming up with the right lender will alleviate significant stress when starting your homebuying journey.
