Why Most People Are Still Glad They Bought a Home

Don’t let today’s uncertainty make you lose sight of what homeownership can do over time. Most homeowners say they’d make the same choice again. And decades of home-price growth help explain why.
If you’re wondering whether buying makes sense for you right now, let’s look at the numbers together – and what owning a home could mean for you in the years ahead.

Greater Newport chamber ofl Commerce sponsors a great series called Women in Business that they run, I guess, a couple times a year. It is really a great event, and tonight's was no different. Got to see the inside of the Breaker Stables, where I have never been before, and spent some quality time with my sister Sue.

Mortgage rates being back above 7% isn't exactly the news most people wanted. But it’s changing the market in ways that matter whether you’re buying or selling.

Including utilities can help a winter rental stand out. A cap keeps it from costing you.

Your tenant gets a number they can budget, and you're protected from a winter of high heat bills. Cap the utilities that swing the most, like heat and electric. Base the cap on last winter's actual bills for the unit, not the coldest month. Then put it in the lease, including how overages are handled.

Worried you might regret buying a home right now?

Even though rates are still higher than buyers would like, everyday costs are up, and the economy feels uncertain, a recent NerdWallet survey found most buyers who’ve already made the leap say they’re glad they did. Only 3% actually regret it.

That’s a good reminder that homeownership isn’t really about whether you bought at the “perfect” time, rate, or price. It’s about what owning a home can do for you over time.

As home values rise and you pay down your mortgage, you build something called equity. And that equity can eventually give you more flexibility, more financial options, and more freedom when it’s time for your next move.

So, if buying is something you still want, don’t let today’s uncertainty automatically talk you out of it.

Let’s look at what’s possible and whether there’s a path that makes sense for you.

Winter renters on Aquidneck Island are often professionals on assignment, people between homes, or someone renovating and needing a place for the season. They're usually great tenants. They also have choices.

The listings that rent fast take the guesswork out of the winter. Predictable costs, flexible dates, a home that's ready to live in, and an owner who says yes quickly.

There's been some talk about whether mortgage rates could climb to 9%. Here's some perspective.

Getting there would take a rare mix of things, all lasting a full year: a booming economy with no slowdown in jobs, the Fed raising rates more than expected, and the conflict in Iran continuing to keep oil prices high.

That's an unlikely combination. So, don’t let it make you worry.

Weekend thought. You should ask for what your property needs. Your mortgage, taxes and insurance are real, and your rent should reflect them.

Where owners get stuck is passing on a good tenant at a fair rent while they wait for a perfect one. Every week the Vacancy sign stays up is income that doesn't come back.

Know your number. Ask for it. And when a good option shows up, open the gate.

So, let's chat about what you can ask for in the neighborhoods you're eyeing.

A lot of owners treat a winter rent price like a forever decision. It's not.

A winter lease ends in the spring. If the market moves, the next lease reflects it. Meanwhile you collected rent all winter instead of paying the heat bill on an empty house.
