Why Should I Buy a Home in Central Indiana Instead of Rent?

There are many benefits to owning your own home, including:

• Increased stability - putting down roots for future growth
• Satisfaction - when asked, a majority of homeowners state pride in ownership is an important reason to buy a home
• Security - have the peace of mind that home ownership brings without the worry of yearly rent increases
• Investment - build usable equity value in your home instead of putting profit into a landlord's pocket; more stable than traditional Stock Trading
• Tax benefits - property taxes and mortgage interest are tax deductible
• Future growth potential - once you have built some equity in your home, it is easier to move into a larger one, or to a nicer area, as needed
