Homeowner's Net Worth is Over 30x Greater Than Renter's.

Federal Reserve conducted a study on Homeownership. Here are 4 important findings revealed in their report:

  • The average American family has a net worth of $77,300
  • Of that net worth, 61.4% ($47,500) of it is in home equity
  • A homeowner’s net worth is over thirty times greater than that of a renter
  • The average homeowner has a net worth of $174,500 while the average net worth of a renter is $5,100
The Fed study found that homeownership is still a great way for a family to build wealth in America.
