Toronto has become a well-known place to be an expensive city to own a home. The average home price in Toronto is 1.045 million dollars making it one of the most expensive places to live in the world. Getting a home for the first time may sometimes feel impossible; however, once that dream home is obtained, there are several benefits to gain financially, socially, and personally, making it all worthwhile.

The financial benefits of owning a home are endless. I want to share some of the immediate rewards financially. Long-term savings comes to mind as a great motivator; having a home for 30 years, once sold it’s basically a retirement fund. Building equity goes hand in hand with long-term savings; paying the mortgage month by month allows for equity to be stored in the home to be taken out later for other activities like a vacation or a cottage purchase. And wealth creation with the inflation of the home; after several years of owning a home, the equity in the home can be taken out to be used towards a rental property, the stock market, or renovations to increase the value of the home.

The social aspect of homeownership can be overlooked by many, but there are many benefits. Homeowners typically have a greater vested interest in the well-being of their neighborhood; for instance, they will clean up their yard and even the street in front of their home. The crime rate in neighbourhoods where there is the majority of homeownership is significantly less since they have crime prevention programs to deter such activities. Neighbourhoods with primary homeownership also encourage associations for their area to promote programs to keep the neighbourhood clean, set up crime watch duty, have children activities, and many more other socially driven groups to have a safe and positive environment.

I cannot state enough, the personal pleasure of owning is a great joy. Owning a home has been shown to lead to increased life expectancy and overall health. The average person who owns a home will have high self-esteem and great self-worth for themselves. It’s a great accomplishment to own a home and all the other activities that go along with owning one. People who own a home tend to have greater financial competency to maintain all the financial responsibilities that come with keeping the house. People who own homes typically have a greater sense of control over their lives with increased financial responsibilities, social responsibilities, and personal responsibilities have.
