For those who live at home

How many months before the wedding are you going to look for a place to live if you plan to own?

Re: For those who live at home

We're going to start looking this summer.

We want to see if we can get one before the end of the year to get the 8000 credit

Re: For those who live at home

we're actually going to be looking very soon.....its a little stressful because to think about planning a wedding and a house is a lot to do!! but i really want to be settled in somewhere before the wedding.......

i'm not 100% on this but I believe you have to close on the house before August to get the tax credit.

Re: For those who live at home

we are currently house hunting and would like to be in the house by the latest january

the $8,000 tax credit is also a plus

Re: For those who live at home

We are going to start looking in the fall. We are trying to avoid renting, and want to buy a place to move in to around the time we get married or soon thereafter...

Re: For those who live at home

We have started hunting! Mainly because of the tax credit!! It is super stressful. I just think about mortgages and get nervous. Im sure you all feel the same but it is so much planning a great wedding and looking for a house.

Re: For those who live at home

There is no way we would be able to afford buying a house and our wedding all at the same time...We are going to rent a place maybe 4-6 months before the wedding, then after the wedding invest our monetary gifts, get some interest and then put a nice down payment on a house.
I told FH no babies until we get a house...he wants a house now lol

Re: For those who live at home

oh let me ask this when will you start looking if you are going to be moving into the place right before/after wedding?

Re: For those who live at home

Re: For those who live at home

We are going to move in once we are married, in October of 2010. We were going to start looking six months before that. Is that enough time?

rocketsummer17 Posted: May 13, 2009 03:54 PM

Re: For those who live at home

We will probably start looking for a place/go through the credit checks about 4-6 months before...I want to get FH settled in the apartment before I move in after the wedding. I think maybe 6 months is when we will definately start browsing for places

Re: For those who live at home

I plan to start looking at the end of this year. I want to be in our new apartment no later than a month before the wedding.

Re: For those who live at home

Re: For those who live at home

We are getting married in March and we are starting now. We just found out that 5 of the houses we were interested in were already in contract. I guess it's never too late to start.
