There are so many things that we seek upgrades for in this day and age. No sooner than we buy a new phone does a new one come out with enhanced features. We buy a vehicle and a new one gets announced with automatic windscreen wipes, and an AI that files your taxes for you. But there is one thing, in this world, a monolith to create in terms of money and effort, that it needs no upgrades or replacement because we are defined by it as much as we define it. That thing is the humble home.

Now it is said that it is the people who live within that make a house a home, but let’s be real the people who make that home are also pretty important. If you’re looking for a team of trusted professionals who can take care of your home build, we encourage you to look into WOW Homes. They make quality products affordably.

Of course, building a home is no small feat, and you probably have to wait in anticipation for a few months before you can get your mittens around the doorknob. But here are a few reasons why you should be excited about this journey.

·         Equity

The value of your land will likely increase in the time that you spend living in it (if it’s in a nice location and there’s no crime). If you want to get technical with it, you can even move to leverage the equity on your home and redraw on your loan. Additionally, you can mortgage refinance or borrow on top of your equity. Long story short, you can make money, and what you do with that money is up to you. Use it to install a pool in the backyard or get yourself a new car. The options are endless.

·         Security

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be homeless? It kind of sucks. Having no permanent location to live in is one of the most exhausting things that can ever happen to you. Either you have to make enough money to get yourself into a hotel, crash at a friend’s place or sleep behind a dumpster. Point is if you have a home that you’re not renting, you won’t ever need to know what it’s like. (Unless you’re into that kind of thing, which is cool too, I guess).

·         Dream Home

When you rent, you literally have so little control over the building. If you want to hang up a painting, call the landlord; need to install another power outlet? Call the landlord, need to sneeze at night? Call the landlord. It’s pretty sickening, but with your own home, you can literally do anything you like, have it reflected your personality by hanging up a stuffed pterodactyl, paint the walls pink and green, hammer holes into the walls. Point is it’s yours, do as you please.

So those are just a few of the upsides of owning a home, we hope you enjoy your new one when it is finally done.
