When buying your first house, a wish list can help you decide what you need in the home
and what you’re willing to compromise on.
“Many first-time buyers aren’t willing
to put in the sweat equity like
previous generations, often due to a
mix of demanding jobs and lack of
know-how with fixer-upper projects,”
he says.
Consider that, on average, most
homeowners remain in their properties
for only about seven years,
“and that number is even lower for
first-time buyers,” Wallace says.
“So first-timers should not expect
subdivision as a starter home, if you
can afford it.
“Being in a building or subdivision
can offer a good start for first-time owners,
and builders often have attractive
buying options that buyers may not get
with an existing older home,” Thomas
says. “This also allows you to live in a
community that is required to be wellkept,
which will aid in selling quickly
when it’s time to move.”
