June <\/strong>is National Homeownership Month<\/strong>!\u00a0 This is a time to celebrate all the wonderful benefits of owning a home as well as the role of Realtors in the American dream of homeownership. National Homeownership Week began in 1995 as a strategy of President Clinton\u2019s administration to increase homeownership across the nation. President George W. Bush then expanded the observance to the entire month of June in 2002.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Homeownership exemplifies the American Dream!<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\nThe history of homeownership in America goes back to 1860s when the U.S. Banking System came into being and mortgages started to become available. When the Great Depression hit, banks didn\u2019t have money to lend and people didn\u2019t have cash, therefore very few could afford to buy homes. People that already owned homes often lost them as they failed to pay their debt. The U.S. Government created the Home Owner\u2019s Loan Corporation in 1933, the Federal Housing Administration in 1934, and the Federal National Mortgage Association (now knowns as Fannie Mae) in 1938 to stabilize the housing market. Along with the American economy, the G.I. Bill of 1944 changed the face of the housing industry.\u00a0 This bill provided subsidized mortgages to the veterans of World War II. Then Congress passed the Fair Housing Act of 1968, which banned discrimination in housing based on religion, race, gender and national origin. During its existence, the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) has helped over 44 million citizens to become homeowners!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

During National Homeownership Month<\/strong>, we strive to get the news out that there are a plethora of perks that come with owning your own home. As a homeowner, you will enjoy pride of ownership, community connection, security, comfort and financial benefits. Owning a home brings value to families, communities and neighborhoods all across the country.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
