As exciting as buying a first home is, you cannot skip on the due diligence. First home buyers find the home buying journey quite daunting as they are new to the scene and constantly inundated with advertisements, promotions, incentives, and financial jargon. Consequently, you find yourself in a paradox of too much information yet not enough information. But like any great accomplishments in life, you should approach the home buying journey with discernment and strategic planning.
Analyzing your current needs, immediate future needs, and your financial situation, or more specifically, if you can even afford a house, are crucial.
