Things to Consider Before You Buy a Home

Sara Gelsheimer

By: Sara Gelsheimer July 7, 2021

Join Plancorp Senior Wealth Manager, Sara Gelsheimer, as she goes through the 6 misconceptions and considerations to keep in mind when contemplating a home purchase.

In this video, Sara talks through these 6 thought provoking topics for consideration when contemplating a home purchase:

Is a home a good investment?
Do you itemize your tax deductions?
On-going costs of home ownership
How long do you intend to stay in the home before re-selling?
Do you have an emergency fund to cover unexpected additional costs?
Are you ready for maintenance and responsibility?

For additional insight, be sure to check out Peter Lazaroff's blog on How to Buy and Sell a House at the Same Time.
