The average US homeowner has over 70% of their net worth in their home. Across the 140m homeowners in the US, that equates to over $11b in net worth and no systematic way to manage it.
80% of homeowners log in to at least ten systems to manage home-related accounts.
Over 80m or 2/3rds of US homeowners, are underinsured by an average of $80k.
There is no way to accurately track the total cost of ownership of a home over time.
100% of homeowners have no transparency into what others pay for services & utilities.
Over 90% of new homeowners underestimate home maintenance costs.
We can manage our 401ks, stocks, and bonds, but there is no easy way to manage our homes. Yet the average US homeowner has over 70% of their net worth in their home, equating to over $11b in unmanageable net worth.
It’s time to change that.
A home is a very special place. It’s a community, a nest, and what you have within your home is a culmination of a life’s journey. We don’t typically consider our home an investment until major renovations, upgrading, or buying and selling.
Unlike other investments like stocks with systems to self-manage, the ability to manage a home as an investment has been overlooked. And yet, for most, a home is the most significant financial investment they will make. Leaving tens of millions with no way to easily make smart investment decisions around their home.
That’s why we created Homefile. We’re focused on modernizing how homeowners protect, manage and maximize the return on their home investment.
