Owning is Less Expensive than Renting (PERIOD).
Today, most adults in their 20s and 30s are waiting longer to buy their first home. Many want to feel more established before investing in a home.
In the meantime, youโre probably renting. Now, you can own your Jagoe Home, build equity, and save money.
Benefits
of Home Ownership:
You can build your dream home.ย
As a renter, youโre living in someone elseโs home and subject to their rules. When you build your new Jagoe Home, you have total control over everything that goes into it and can customize your home exactly the way you want! From floorplan, to counter tops, to the garage, all aspects are uniquely built to your needs.ย A new Jagoe Home is the way to make your dreams a reality.

Owning a new home is MORE AFFORDABLE than renting.ย Although investing in a new Jagoe Home at first is more expensive than renting, it can be cheaper over time. Zillow uses a Rent vs. Buy calculator to determine the break even horizon in which buying becomes more efficient than renting. Depending on the situation, if you plan to stay in your home past this break even horizon, buying can save you money. With low fixed-rate mortgages available and rising rent costs, buying vs. renting a house can be the best fit for you.

and Build Equity

and Build Equity
You SAVE and build equity!ย One of the bestย benefits of home ownership is building equity, which is your share in the value of your home.ย In more technical terms, itโs the difference between the market value of your home and the amount you still owe. When you buy a new Jagoe Home, the amount of your equity steadily grows! Instead of your money disappearing in rent each month, youโll invest in your own home that will be more valuable over time.
Mortgage Costs Stay the Same As Rents Rise
Mortgage Costs Stay the Same As Rents Rise
Your mortgage payment stays the SAME as the cost of rent rises.ย With aย fixed-rate mortgage, your monthly payment does not change. Unless you are a renter in a rent-controlled building or neighborhood, your monthly rent payment can go up frequently. Since your monthly mortgage payment is stable, you can plan your overall budget with confidence. And, keep in mind the property taxes on your home are tax deductible.ย For more information about the advantages, options, and competitive rates, ย talk with our experts at FBC Mortgage.

A Home Can Appreciate In Value Over Time
Your home can grow in value over time. Quite simply, the land your new Jagoe Home is built on appreciates because it’s in limited supply. After all, no one is producing any more earth! And, as the population increases, so does the demand for quality homes and land, driving the price up over time. Do your research, invest in a Jagoe Home and the value should increase each year you own it. For more information, visit ourย Home Loan Learning Center.
