Home Facts

A home is a place of residence or refuge and comfort. It is usually a place in which an individual or a family can rest and be able to store personal property. Most modern-day households contain sanitary facilities and a means of preparing food. Animals have their own homes as well, either living in the wild or in a domesticated environment. A home has no physical definition, rather it is a mental or emotional state of belonging.

There are certain cultures in which members lack permanent homes, such as with nomadic people.

Why is home insurance limited to each and every different type of disaster?
Q. The home is either livable or NOT livable...it matters NOT what disaster ruined the home.. Why then is it that you have to pay extra for each different type of circumstance? An accident is an accident... a disaster is a disaster... the home can only be burned, flooded, distroyed by earthquake / tornado / hurricaine ONCE.. why pay for all the different ways insurance-wise? How covered is covered? And WHY !!! Why?? Is it if you Never have any type of claim you aren't refunded some of that money you spend year after year after year?

A. You used the words paid, pay, money, spend, and they are all correct. It is all about the money, yours specifically, and how much of it the insurance industry can get (steal).

Can I get TX Home exemption for my second home?
Q. My husband and I are planning to buy a house that is neared by my workplace. We do not want to put out for sale on our current home until we find a new home which means there are going to be a period time that we will be owning two houses at the same time. We are thinking of taking my name out from the current home and using my name only for the new home, so we can get home exemption for both houses. Would that work?

What percentage of a home does the average American home-owner own?
Q. That is, if an average American home-owner were to appraise their home today what percent would they own in equity? More specifically, how much does this percent vary between different home-owner age brackets? And, considering this, what are the odds that the average American home-owner will ever pay off their mortgage? Sorry for the barrage of questions. It would seem that answers to these could be of value to those of us that are younger and hoping to set somewhat realistic, lifelong financial goals. Thanks!
Asked by A - Sat Jun 13 18:22:22 2009 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments

A. I too own 100% and if it helps the age bracket is..well...over the age of 60 if that helps you any. Added I totally agree with George G's assessment. People now want 40 year mortgages, nothing down, and even interest only for a few years. My home has been paid off for many years, I took on a 15 year mortgage with high interest rates and paid it off in 9 years. How? Because I could comfortably afford the house.

Sourced

  • Home is where the heart is.
    • Ancient saying, reported at least as early as 1847, in Joseph C. Neal, "Singleton Snippe. Who Married for a Living", Graham's Magazine (1847), p. 166: "Home is where the heart is; and Snippe's heart was a traveler—a locomotive heart, perambulating; and it had no tendencies toward circumscription and confine".
  • A man's house is his castle — et domus sua cuique est tutissimum refugium.
    • Edward Coke, The First Part of the Institutes of the Laws of England, or, A Commentary on Littleton (London, 1628, ed. F. Hargrave and C. Butler, 19th ed., London, 1832), Third Institute, p. 162. The exact translation of the Latin portion is: "and where shall a man be safe if it be not in his own house?", quoted from Pandects, lib. ii. tit. iv. De in Jus vocando.
  • Home is home, though it be never so homely.
    • English proverb, reported in John Clarke, Paræmiologia (1639), p. 101.
  • 'Mid pleasures and palaces though we may roam, Be it ever so humble, there 's no place like home; A charm from the skies seems to hallow us there, Which sought through the world is ne'er met with elsewhere.
    • John Howard Payne, Home, Sweet Home (1822), from the opera of "Clari, the Maid of Milan"
  • Sitting with my gin or whisky afterwards I would often manage to get into conversation with some lonely man or other – usually an exile like myself – and the talk would be about the world, air-routes and shipping-lines, drinking-places thousands of miles away. Then I felt happy, felt I had come home, because home to people like me is not a place but all places, all places except the one we happen to be in at the moment.
