A Homeowner’s Net Worth is 36x Greater Than A Renter!
Over the last six years, homeownership has lost some of its allure as a financial investment. As homeowners suffered through the housing bust, more and more began to question whether owning a home was truly a good way to build wealth.
The Federal Reserve conducts a Survey of Consumer Finances, every three years, and just released their latest edition this past week.
Some of the findings revealed in their report:
- The average American family has a net worth of $81,200
- Of that net worth, 61.4% ($49,856) of it is in home equity
- A homeowner’s net worth is over 36 times greater than that of a renter
- The average homeowner has a net worth of $194,500 while the average net worth of a renter is $5,400
Bottom Line
The Fed study found that homeownership is still a great way for a family to build wealth in America.

Your home is probably the biggest asset that you own. That is why you need to choose a partner, who is working for YOU to get the job done correctly, the first time. One who is concerned about Quality, not Quantity.
