Why Buy a Home in Colorado Springs?

Most people buy homes to have control over where they live. Although investment features are important, the psychological reasons for buying – the satisfaction of owning and freedom from paying rent are at least as important.

In a survey done by the National Association of REALTORS® showed that 76% of owners and 66% of renters consider pride of ownership an important reason for buying.

Renting offers a lifestyle that’s nearly maintenance-free. That may appeal to some, but consider that renting offers you no equity, no tax benefit, and no protection against regular rent increases. Writing a rent check is just like watching your hard earned money sail away into a trash can full of rent receipts.

Settling down was another important reason to buy. The tax advantage consists of qualified home interest payments and property taxes which are deductible on Schedule A of itemized deductions. Home buyer’s consider home ownership a good investment because they view it as a long-term venture.

Home ownership always has and continues to comprise the single largest source of savings for American households. Homeowners build equity and can borrow against it.
