History of National Homeowners Day

During the 1800s, most people could not own a house. There was no system of getting a mortgage from a bank, and only the very rich were able to own homes. People either weren’t able to afford it or banks didn’t lend money to the average person. Mortgages were only introduced when the U.S. banking system was stabilized after the National Banking Acts were established in the 1860s.

Thanks to these acts, banks also started lending money to more people and by the 1890s, mortgages had become popular throughout the U.S. Unlike the mortgages that we know today, these required a 50% down payment and could only be paid through monthly interests that the loan generated.

When the Great Depression occurred in 1929, banks no longer had any money to lend. It was a major economic crisis and the whole country suffered. The homeowners who had taken loans out also didn’t have any money to pay for monthly installments, and hence, they defaulted. Many homes also went into foreclosure.

Nothing stays the same forever and once this period passed, banks stabilized once again and the housing market boomed. By the 1950s, over 50% of Americans were homeowners for the first time in history. Buying homes had become very common by then, and there were real-estate brokers to assist potential customers with their home-buying journey. The real-estate profession also boomed along with the increase in homebuyers.
