First Time Homebuyer – Holiday Edition

 In escrow 🏡 and just in time for the holidays🍗!

First-time home buyers – referred by a mutual friend – entrusted me to navigate 🧭the home buying process taking us from San Marcos to Sabre Springs.

They started with a vision 1 bed 🛌 / 1 bath 🛁, but by working closely with their lender🏦 and their budget🌹, we were able to get twice the home that was completely turnkey with just a 20% increase in their monthly payments. Getting that $10,000 seller credit to cover closing costs helped too!

It’s a perfect upgrade🔥 for one time renters to homeowners! I’m so excited 🎉for them to celebrate season greetings in their new 💯home.

🎄 First-Time Home Buyers in Escrow Just in Time for the Holidays!

🏡 There’s something magical about becoming a first-time home buyer—especially when it happens right before the holiday season. My newest clients, referred by a mutual friend, entrusted me to guide them through the home buying process in North County San Diego, exploring neighborhoods from San Marcos to Sabre Springs until we found the perfect fit.

🌟 From Dreaming Small to Living Big
When we first sat down, their vision was simple: a cozy 1-bedroom, 1-bath condo. But with careful planning, collaboration with their lender, and a clear look at their budget, we discovered an opportunity to double their space. With only a 20% increase in monthly payments, they were able to secure a turnkey home that checked every box—and then some.

💰 Smart Negotiations and Seller Credits
One of the highlights of this transaction was negotiating a $10,000 seller credit to cover closing costs. For first-time buyers, that’s a huge win—it means more cash left in their pocket to furnish, decorate, and truly make the house a home.

🏠 From Renters to Homeowners
The leap from renting to owning is more than just a financial milestone—it’s a lifestyle upgrade. These buyers now have:
• Equity building potential instead of rent payments disappearing each month
• A stable place to call home in Sabre Springs, a community known for great schools, parks, and easy access to San Diego
• The joy of hosting family and friends during the holidays in a space that’s truly theirs

🎉 Holiday Homeownership Joy
There’s nothing quite like celebrating the holidays in your very first home. From hanging stockings by the fireplace to cooking Thanksgiving dinner in a brand-new kitchen, these buyers are stepping into a season filled with gratitude, excitement, and new traditions.
