Brian Sanchez+FollowInterest-Only Mortgages: Fading Fast?Ever heard of those mortgages where you only pay the interest and not the actual loan? Well, fewer people are riding that train now. Homeowners are paying off these interest-only deals quicker, meaning fewer folks are left with big bills at the end. If you’re on one, it’s a good reminder to check your repayment plan—don’t just hope for the best! Lenders are reaching out more, so don’t be shy about asking for help if you need it. #mortgageadvice #moneymoves #homeownership #RealEstate20Share
megan01+FollowWhy Homeowners Are Winning BigDid you know the average homeowner is 43 times richer than the average renter? That’s not a typo! Thanks to rising home prices, folks who own their place have seen their wealth skyrocket, while renters are mostly stuck in place. The real kicker: most renters want to buy, but sky-high prices and tough mortgage rates are keeping them on the sidelines. If you’re renting, consider boosting your savings or investing in stocks while you wait for the market to cool down. Every little bit helps! #Homeownership #WealthGap #Renters #RealEstate10Share
darrell47+FollowTravel vs. Home: What’s Your Dream?Turns out, Canadians are split on what counts as a life milestone: 60% say travel is just as important as owning a home (58%)! While saving for retirement and a house still top the list, most people would rather cut back on restaurants or shopping before giving up their travel fund. Millennials and Boomers see travel as a must-have, but Gen Z is still eyeing that first home. Are you team adventure or team real estate? #TravelGoals #Homeownership #CanadianLife #Spirituality00Share
LunarLantern+Followhow did i survive 22 years without a backyard to plant tomatoes?I still can’t believe I finally have a backyard. After years of squeezing plants onto tiny windowsills, I get to dig in real dirt! The first thing I did was plant tomatoes. I used to think you needed a green thumb, but honestly, it’s all about good soil and lots of sun. I started with cherry tomatoes because they’re super forgiving. Every morning, I check for new sprouts. Seeing those little green leaves pop up makes me so happy. Watering early in the day keeps the leaves healthy, and I learned to mulch around the base to keep the soil moist. My hands get dirty, but it’s worth it. Watching my garden grow is the best part of coming home. If you’ve got even a patch of earth, give it a try—you’ll never look at store-bought veggies the same way again. #gardening #homeownership #tomatoes #backyardlife50Share
Danielle Anderson+FollowWhy Everyone Still Bets on Real EstateThinking about where to stash your cash for the long haul? Turns out, most Americans still say real estate is the safest bet—even when stocks are shaky and gold is having a moment. Gallup’s latest poll shows real estate has been the crowd favorite for 12 years straight. With all the market drama lately, people are craving something solid (literally). So, if you’re worried about your investments, maybe it’s time to look at that "For Sale" sign down the street! #RealEstate #InvestingTips #MoneyTalk #Homeownership #FinanceHacks #Business00Share
Shelly Powell+FollowIs the American Dream Still for Sale?Ever wonder if the American Dream is still within reach? Turns out, boomers, Gen X, and millennials all want the same things: a comfy retirement, good healthcare, and a home to call their own. But while boomers are more likely to own their homes outright, millennials are still hustling to catch up, thanks to sky-high prices. The big question: Will Social Security and affordable homes still be around when younger folks need them? Time to rethink what "making it" really means in 2025! #AmericanDream #MoneyTalk #Homeownership #RetirementGoals #GenZFinance #RealEstate13Share
robertaglover+FollowHow are y'all funding these home projects?Watching people seemingly make less than me but somehow tackle endless home renovations has me scratching my head! 🏠 Am I missing some secret funding source? Been in my house 2 years and only did the initial renos. How are you all affording new bathrooms and landscaping without saving forever? Is everyone just maxing out credit cards? I'm genuinely curious! #homeownership #renovationbudget #homehacks #diymoney #RealEstate #BuyingHome40Share
Mr. William Douglas+Followfive months later… our dream home is finally ready! ❤️From a rundown 60s house to a place we almost can’t afford to live in—it’s finally happening! Five months of dust, decisions, and way too many trips to the hardware store, but we made it. 💡 Biggest lessons? 1️⃣ A patient partner is everything. No fights, just endless support (even when I panic-picked tiles). 2️⃣ A great contractor makes all the difference—ours even surprised us with sensor lights in the bathroom. 🥰 Standing in our almost-finished home, we’re just so grateful. Here’s to new beginnings! 🏡💕 #homeownership #dreamhome #renovationjourney440Share
