BIGGEST REGRETS:
1. Not being prepared for maintenance and other “Extra” costs associated with home ownership.
It’s important to realize that, with real estate…your payment doesn’t just stop with your mortgage. You’re also responsible for property taxes, insurance, regular maintenance, and the strong likelihood that something is going to break the moment you buy it thanks to Murphy’s Law.
2. 13% of millennials say they have regrets about their mortgage rate being too high, or paying to much to buy the house
To me, this sounds like a mistake of not shopping around, and not doing enough research to make sure the rate you’re being quoted - is actually the most competitive rate. Even from my own experience buying properties, 9 times out of 10…the first loan estimate you get is NOT going to be the lowest price, and it’s up to YOU to shop around for a more competitive offer.
3. A significant portion of millennials say that the home was NOT the right fit.
Now, it’s important to realize that - in a highly competitive market like this - there will be some compromises, and unless you have an infinite budget of money to create the perfect fairytale dream home in a good school distract without noisy neighbors…you won’t get EVERYTHING, especially as a millennial. But, these regrets listed are….in my opinion…not something that should be happening.
4. 9% of millennials who say the house they bought WASN’T a good investment.
The traditional rule of thumb says a mortgage is a great way to act like a forced savings account, because every single month you make a payment, you’re building equity in an appreciating asset…and that’s true. But to really come up with an answer, you need to compare it with the cost of renting, and the opportunity cost of investing your money somewhere else.
So, overall…here’s my take on this…as a millennial.
I generally encourage ANYONE who’s buying a home, to do so with the expectation of living there at least 5-8 years…otherwise, the closing costs of buying and selling eat away at the potential benefits of being able to build equity with a mortgage. It’s also INCREDIBLY important to understand WHY you’re buying a home in the first place, and what problems that’s going to solve…like, is it a way to save money? Have more space? Put down roots? Or, is it just a good investment? If it doesn’t fall in one of those categories…chances are, you probably should be looking elsewhere, or perhaps holding off from buying something until you have a clear solution.
I also recommend, ANYTIME you’re buying ANYTHING…never max out what you’re able to buy. That way, in the event of a job loss, or a reduction in income…you don’t have to worry as much about unexpected repairs, or a higher mortgage than you would’ve liked…because you’ll KNOW you prepared for a buffer to make sure you have enough to continue making payments.
And when you begin putting all of this in perspective…from every single one of the 63% millennial homeowner regrets… it sounds more like an issue of poor planning, than it does as a fault of the home itself. Almost all of these regrets could’ve been avoided with about a day of research and planning, and even more than that could’ve been fixed with some evaluation of whether or not they were buying a home for the right reasons.

@majstcspaceduck42153 years agoAs a mortgage banker. I can somewhat agree with that shopping for rates idea. Except for the fact that we are in such a volatile market that rates change also most of those quotes are not guaranteed and the minute you fo under contract some lenders suddenly can' t get you the same rate. If you are going to go that rate, the lender will need to lock you in for an appropriate time period so you don' t have to pay for an extension. This way you have plenty of time to shop. so if you ask lender a on a bad day for a quote, it could be much easier for lender b to give you a better quote just because the mortgage backed securities market adjusted. This has been more prevalent with fed announcements. Infact this past wednesday when the fed mentioned the idea of tapering the rates jumped. 125-250 of a percent. Many lenders would freak and start locking in, but those educated would realize the market will correct itself and today you would get much better pricing. also keep in mind that a large amount ofare just rate quoters and couldn' t even tell you how where mortgage rate pricing comes from. in fact banks often times are bad culprits of this depending on the state. Depository lenders are not even required to take the same education and pass the national testing. Whereas non-depository lenders must take a minimum of 20+ hours of education, continue education yearly and pass a national test with a fairly high fail rate. honestly, if you find a lender who can accurately read the market, they will get you the lowest price possible. It is actually against the law to not give someone the best option for their mortgage. when you are choosing a lender you need to make sure you choose an advisor who knows how the market works and can show you what your return on your investment is. ...Expand2

Managed to keep the comprehensive renovations to under 25k with a lot of my own labor and i' ll make a nice stack when i sell.

Both way below market value and fixer uppers. This time around, with two kids neighborhoods, room to grow and school systems are now in consideration. Ive come to realize that your home doesnt always have to be analyzed as an investment. Its where you lay your head at night, where you raise your family, where you establish memories. So we are bought based on those needs/wants. Buying right now will make sense if the numbers make sense for the individual. ...Expand
