With rent and home prices increasing while the amount of houses for sale decreases, it is smart to make the move now and transition from renting to homeowner.  There are many reasons why purchasing a home can help you invest in your future. Here are just a few:

Finding the perfect home to purchase isn't easy, but if the buyer feels confident in the future about the buy, they're willing to go the distance. Being the most competitive time for the housing market in history has buyers stretching their budgets in order to insure they win the bidding war for the home of their dreams.

Millennials are working hard in their early careers right now and most likely saving up by rooming with friends or family. They are becoming aware that renting on their own is looking more and more less likely of a good idea as rent prices rise.

The world we live in today is a digital one and searching for a home is no different. The typical buyer used a mobile device to search for properties online. They looked at websites with photos, home listings, and information about the home buying process. They then contacted an agent and visited a median of 10 homes over 10 weeks again in 2016 before purchasing a home.

With so many different things to take care of in order to live the American Dream, it seems impossible to pay anything off before or event after retirement.
