June is here—and that means it’s National Homeownership Month! At Verus Title, we’re proud to celebrate the dream, the journey, and the reality of homeownership. Whether you’re buying your first home, upgrading to fit your growing family, or investing in your future, owning a home remains one of the most significant milestones in life.

What is National Homeownership Month?

National Homeownership Month is observed every June to recognize the value of homeownership and to encourage more Americans to achieve this goal. Originally launched as a week-long observance by President Clinton in 1995, it was later expanded to a full month by President George W. Bush in 2002.

This month isn’t just about buying houses—it’s about building communities, creating generational wealth, and helping individuals and families gain stability and independence.

Why Homeownership Still Matters in 2025

In today’s dynamic housing market, the importance of owning a home is stronger than ever. Here’s why:

✅ Equity Building – Every mortgage payment gets you one step closer to owning more of your assets.
✅ Stable Housing Costs – Fixed-rate mortgages protect you from rising rent prices.
✅ Community Engagement – Homeowners are more likely to invest in their neighborhoods and stay long term.
✅ Tax Advantages – Homeownership comes with deductions for mortgage interest and property taxes.
✅ Generational Wealth – Real estate continues to be one of the strongest ways to build and pass on wealth.
