Okay, here is the deal. Homeownership will positively change the trajectory of your life, and your family's lives. And no, I am not just saying this as your friendly local Realtor, I am telling you this because it is true. Think about this: a home is the only asset that has the potential to appreciate in value as you pay it down. And any of you reading this who live in your family's spare bedroom- don't worry you are the smart ones! According to the National Association of Realtors 2022 statistics, 17% of people ages 25-34 are living back at home and saving to make their first home purchase. As a renter, you don't have the opportunity to see any return on your money and Millenials know this to be true.
3 years ago my husband (boyfriend at the time) and I bought our first home, it was something that we thought was totally unobtainable with our financial situation at the time. Long story short we were able to purchase a fixer with our small budget, which lead to many successes including paying off all our debts and then selling our home to purchase another property. We would have never thought that we would buy another home 2 short years later with a 20% downpayment and cash for a remodel. I share this story to motivate or inspire any reader who thinks they can't buy a home. You owe it to yourself to see what's possible. I can't tell you how many buyers that I have passed keys to who say, "I didn't think I could ever buy a home!"
Let's talk about how to become a homeowner next year, we are right around the corner from 2023! I am very passionate about the process, it's not conventionally a fun or easy task to start the journey toward achieving this lofty goal. As a realtor and a Millennial, I have made it my mission to help others achieve homeownership. I won't spill all my secrets in this blog, because I am hosting a complementary workshop all about the steps to make it happen!
This complimentary hour-long class taught by me will include some basic information about the Pierce County, WA real estate market, information about the buying process, lending resources, a bit about the purchase and sale contract, and an informal Q+A to wrap up. Oh-and of course, there will be lite bites and refreshments!
