June is National Homeownership Month, a time to celebrate the personal and financial benefits that come with owning a home. At Three Sixty Real Estate, we believe that homeownership is about more than just buying property — it’s about building stability, equity, and a lasting connection to your community. Buying a home is a very personal and exciting decision, and we are honored to guide you step by step through the process. Whether you’re a first-time buyer or looking to move into your forever home, here’s why homeownership is one of the smartest, most rewarding investments you can make.
In today’s competitive rental market, especially in Auburn where demand is high due to the city’s steady growth and Auburn University’s influence, rent prices continue to climb. But when you own a home, your monthly payments build equity — a financial cushion you can tap into for future goals.
When you own your own home, you are able to customize features in your home to match your personal style! No more permission to paint the walls or bring home pets. When you own a home, you have full creative control. Want to renovate your kitchen, build a home gym, or design a backyard oasis? As a homeowner, you’re in charge — and every improvement has the potential to increase your home’s value.
While rental rates continue to rise, when you purchase your home with a fixed-rate mortgage, your housing cost remains steady. This financial predictability is a major advantage and gives homeowners the ability to plan for the future with confidence!
The value of homes and land in Lee County continue to rise, meaning your home will have long-term property value growth. That means your home is not just a place to live — it’s a smart investment that will continue to appreciate in value, year over year.
