According to a NAR survey, most Americans still believe homeownership is a good investment. About 84% of those surveyed thought buying a home was a good financial move and said that their primary reasons for purchasing a home were to build equity and prepare for retirement.<\/p>\n
Another survey by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System indicated that for most Americans, their primary residence was their largest financial asset.<\/p>\n
Free Homeownership Resources<\/b><\/h2>\n
Many organizations offer free resources for future home buyers to encourage and educate them about the home buying journey. Here are a few:<\/p>\n
\n- NAR\u2019s Focus on First-Time Home Buyers<\/a><\/li>\n
- National Association of Home Builders<\/a><\/li>\n

Home Buying Success Stories\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n
In celebration of National Homeownership Month, HouseLogic.com has compiled a list of home buying success stories to inspire realtors and home buyers alike. Here are a couple.<\/p>\n
Buying on a Tight Budget<\/b><\/h3>\n
Anthony and Sammy knew it was time to buy a new home when they had their first child. They wanted everything for their child, including a safe neighborhood, good schools and a nice yard, but they were on a tight budget and didn\u2019t know anything about buying a home.<\/p>\n
They contacted a realtor who put them in touch with a lender. The lender advised them how much they needed to save and things they needed to do to get a better credit rating.<\/p>\n
Anthony and Sammy were able to find a house in their price range with all the things they were looking for in one weekend. It helped that they had a good realtor who went with them to look at houses and gave them great advice.<\/p>\n
They were able to buy a 46-year-old ranch for $262,000.<\/p>\n
What Happened When Andrea\u2019s Loan Fell Through<\/b><\/h3>\n
Andrea got her dream job in Madison, Wisconsin and was looking to rent right in downtown Madison but found the rental prices too steep. So she decided to buy instead.<\/p>\n
She was easily approved for a loan and found a condo that she liked. Unfortunately, when she got to closing, she discovered that the lender had dropped the ball and didn\u2019t have everything they needed on their end.<\/p>\n
With her very adept realtor\u2019s help, she was able to get the seller to let her rent the house until she was able to buy it.<\/p>\n
She bought the condo for $222,000.<\/p>\n
