Life’s major changes often come with a high level of excitement, anticipation, and uncertainty about what’s to come next. After all, these are huge new chapters, whether you’re starting a new life together, expecting a baby, or ready to enter comfortably into retirement. And with every new chapter comes the opportunity to start fresh. When you’re ready to plant roots, it’s the perfect time to buy a home.
A new home brings with it new stability and an opportunity for growth, no matter what stage of life you may be in. Here’s what you need to know if you see major changes on the horizon.
First comes love, then comes mortgage
Some of life’s biggest changes come the moment you say, “I do.” When you’re newlyweds, you have the opportunity to buy a home together that is an investment in your future. The purchase of a home is one of the first wise financial decisions you can make together. Homes in North Carolina have consistently appreciated according to data from the Fiscal Research Division of the North Carolina General Assembly, which means you’ll start your marriage off wisely with an immediate investment.
What’s more, marriage is the perfect time to buy a home because as you begin sharing a space together, you get to customize and build the space exactly as you see it. From perfecting your master suite to choosing the wedding photos to hang on your walls, your first home is an exciting start to your new, shared life together.
A baby changes everything in your world
When you’re expecting a baby, soon-to-be parents need to start thinking about entirely new circumstances for their lives. If you’re about to be a parent, everything shifts. Suddenly, you need to focus on whether you have the room to grow. Babies need child-friendly environments as they become toddlers and children, and the right home will help that happen.
However, you’ll also need to start thinking about entirely new scenarios, too, such as whether you live near good preschools and schools. You’ll need to start looking for nearby parks and spots for activities you may want to take your child to. This new focus means you can find a home that’s close to everything you need for your family, both now and in the future.
Downsize and simplify for the next chapter
Once the kids are gone or you’re ready for retirement, it’s time to focus on you once again. If you’re ready to downsize, it is the perfect time to buy a home because you can choose a space that’s practicable for your new phase of life. The flexibility of downsizing means you can find maintenance-free living or a smaller home that takes less to manage.
Downsizing can also provide financial freedom. Selling a larger home means you’ll free up equity to buy a new one. And newer homes mean more energy efficiency, which translates to lower utility bills. It’s a great way to bring ease into your life so you can focus on your goals and what you find most important.
