Are You Ready to Buy Your First Home?
Buying a home is a major milestone, both emotionally and financially. Before diving in, ask yourself:
- Are you prepared to live in one place for at least 3–5 years?
- Do you have a reliable source of income?
- Have you accounted for all costs, including additional costs like repairs, property taxes and homeowners' insurance?
Owning a home means long-term responsibility. If you're expecting a major life shift, like changing jobs or relocating, then it may be wise to wait. But if your finances and lifestyle point toward stability, you're ready to take the next step.
