Homeownership may feel so elusive to many.
Some Buyers worry their finances will not last
Some Buyers say the amount of homebuying information available is overwhelming
Some Buyers feel some level of shame about their finances
Some Buyer say a mortgage feels like a trap
At the same time, some Buyers say owning a home would make them feel more secure than anything else they could do with their money
The takeaway is that many young buyers are financially qualified to buy. They are not held back by their numbers. They are held back by overwhelm, distrust, and misconceptions, like the belief that they need 20% down to get started.
Talk with a real estate professional and a mortgage lender and discuss what you can actually afford, what the process really looks like, and what your options are. There may be options you did not know existed.
