One of the many reasons to buy a home is that it’s a major way to build wealth and gain financial stability. According to Freddie Mac:


“Building equity through your monthly principal payments and appreciation is a critical part of homeownership that can help you create financial stability.”

Housing wealth (home equity or net worth) gains are built up through price appreciation and by paying off the mortgage.”


In other words, home equity does more to build the average household’s wealth than anything else. And according to data from First American, this holds true across different income levels (see graph below):
