Newlyweds should think ahead when buying a home E
ach year couples, or dual income households, make up the largest percentage of home buyers in the country. According to the National Association of Realtors that percentage grew even larger to 65 percent of total buyers in 2012, up 7 percent from the last two years. It is no secret that many first time homebuyers are newlyweds, looking forward to building a new life and new
Jerry White Real Estate Matters home together where they can picture raising a family and creating their independence. Buying a new home is a long term investment, and what better time to invest in
your future than when starting a new life together as husband and wife. The process of becoming a homeowner is a rewarding experience, but requires research and understanding
that a professional real estate agent should be part of. Consider these tips before taking the plunge in to a home purchase: ■ Your changing needs: It’s important to ask yourself critical questions from the get-go. Do you plan on having a family? Adopting a dog? Make sure that your home can suit the evolving needs of your marriage now and for years to come.
■ Trained eye: An accredited realtor estate agent can offer the same kind of insight you’d expect from your wedding planner by guiding you through the purchase of your first home. Realtors are certified to know the ins and outs of the market. ■ Know your limits: Meet with your lender to create a plan. They’ll help you understand how much you can afford based
on your combined incomes, budgets and credit histories. They’ll also be able to help you understand what special tax credits you may be eligible to receive.
Jerry White is executive vice president of operations for Coldwell Banker King Thompson and past Realtor of the Year for the Columbus Board of Realtors.
