How do you compromise with your partner when you’re buying a home?
Cupid’s Advice:
Whether you are a newlywed or not, purchasing a home with your partner is mainly about compromising. You and your mate want to settle down, start a family, and decide and your ideal house you’ll live in for the rest of your lives. Buying a home is a financial, emotional change in you and your spouse’s lives. This being said, you both have to relatively agree on the home to be happy. Cupid has some more advice:
1. Prioritize: Â If your income doesn’t allow a five-bedroom, four and a half bath, indoor and outdoor pool; do not buy it. You and your beau both have to realize what is realistic for your funds. Sit down with your spouse and discuss what you want, and what they want. Go from there. Look into homes that have something your partner wants, and another home that has something you want. Find an in between, and buy that home!
2. Listen: The most important part of this process is to listen to what your partner wants. You two will never come to a compromise if you blatantly ignore what your mate is saying. To reach an in between, you must listen intently to your partner’s ideal home for the two of you. Even if you don’t agree to what your mate has to say, you love them and it is your responsibility to listen.
3. Real estate agent: Having a great real estate agent will save you a lot of time, stress, and in the end, money. Real estate agents know their business, they know what certain couples need and what they want. They are able to help with the compromise between you and your beau. They know the ins and outs of the neighborhood, they can predict future problems and help the negotiation process.
