First-Time Homebuyer

See how buying your first home impacts your net worth and overall finances.

Buying a home is the largest financial transaction most people make. While a mortgage adds a large liability, the home itself is an asset. Over time, as you pay down the mortgage and the home appreciates, your net worth grows. The key: do not overextend. Keep your mortgage payment under 28% of gross income, and make sure you still have an emergency fund after the down payment.
