Buying a home at any point in life is kind of a big deal. For first-time homebuyers, the process can seem especially daunting and monumental — but there’s good news! If you’re considering buying a home for the first time, do your research and save big!
According to floridarealtors.org, many people buying homes for the first time have more realistic expectations for what they want in a home, and are willing to save longer to get a better value. By eschewing the traditional route of purchasing a “starter home”, 75% of first-time home buyers are able to save more now in order to buy their dreamhome later. 35% of this group report that their long-term plan is to buy the home they plan on retiring in.
First-time buyers — especially millennials — realize the importance of things such as saving up to afford a down payment and sacrificing now for better quality later.
