My husband and I are very excited to buy a home ... eventually. When will we be ready? We don't really know. The whole process feels so incredibly vague and intimidating. The mere conversation about it tends to make us anxious and eager to postpone.
Anxiety around buying a house is common among those of us who have always rented. An August 2017 survey by loanDepot, found that though 52 percent of renting millennials are driven to buy a home, half are anxious about the costs associated with such an endeavor, and only 18 percent think it's something they can financially pull off.
