1. Sacrifices buyers make in order to purchase a home
There are many reasons people want a home with the most frequent responses
being a place of their own, to raise their family and feel safe and secure.These
are all strong motivations fueling the American Dream of owning a home.
The motivation is so dominant that buyers are willing to make sacrifices to have
their dream come true. According to the 2014 National Association of
REALTORS® Home Buyers and Sellers Survey, 72% of first-time buyers cut
spending on luxury or non-essential items. They also cut spending on entertainment, clothes and even cancelled vacation plans.
The value of getting their own home is more important than the immediate
gratification of things that are considered less important. While qualifying
guidelines were increased last year, there are still more buyers purchasing
homes at near record-low mortgage rates.
