Throughout the month of June, we are celebrating National Homeownership Month

Throughout the month of June, we are celebrating National Homeownership Month. One big reason home owners should also be celebrating: New research shows that the value of owners’ equity in real estate continues to rise.

The recent analysis, issued by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, finds that the value of owners’ equity in real estate, the difference between the market value of owner-occupied real estate and home mortgage debt, rose by $1.3 trillion over the past four quarters.

 

Also this month, our Greater Atlanta HBA team and NAHB will be visiting our Nation’s Capital, calling on Congress to address America’s housing affordability challenge to enable more families to achieve homeownership.
