is critical to financial stability and wealth building. A home serves
as a forced savings account and provides a solid asset, as well as a
place to live. Despite the recent market upheaval, the vast majority

slightly decreased, the decline has been moderate in comparison to
home values, which have declined nationwide by 30 to 40 percent
since the peak of the housing boom. For more reasons why now
