  • Guide to Houston's Best Neighborhoods
    GUIDE TO HOUSTON’S BEST NEIGHBORHOODS Paige Martin Broker Associate Keller Williams Realty 713-384-5177 [email protected] Benefits Of Buying A Home In Houston 1. Houston homeownership builds wealth over time. Houston is the #1 US city for job creation. Long-term, property values increase as employment grows in the area. Six “Close In” Houston neighborhoods posted at least 10% appreciation per year over the past few years. 2. You build equity every month. Equity is the amount of money you can sell a house for minus what you still owe on it. Every mortgage payment reduces the amount you owe, and increases your equity and investment. 3. You receive tax benefits. The tax code allows homeowners to deduct home-related expenses from their income tax obligations like: mortgage interest, closing cost deductions, and interest on home equity loans. Property tax is also deductible for income tax purposes. Houston homeowners also have Homestead Exemptions. 4. Owning real estate allows you to diversify your investment portfolio. Houston has 5.9 million people in the MSA (Metropolitan Statistical Area) as of the last census. Houston’s Area Council expects this to grow to around 7.6 million by 2025. Owning real estate poised to take advantage of this growth trend can offer value for your portfolio. 5. Buying now allows you to take advantage of record-low mortgage rates. Interest rates are at historic lows: below 4% for a 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage and below 3.25% for a 15-year term. The Fed has committed unprecedented capital to reducing interest rates, benefiting current homebuyers and homeowners looking to refinance.
