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.
