Millennial home buyers face some well-documented challenges. Higher home prices, too few starter homes for sale, and student loan debt are near the top of the list. Add to that having to save for a down payment while paying rent and it can seem like an uphill battle. But younger Americans want to buy and are showing a willingness to get creative in order to make it happen. For example, a new survey finds nearly 70 percent of millennials, who say they'd like to become homeowners soon, would consider buying a home that needs major repairs. And since finding an affordable house in a good neighborhood with quality schools and a short commute to work isn't always easy, taking on a home improvement project in order to get one may not seem like that big of a tradeoff. And it isn't, especially if you can do some of the work yourself. But, if this strategy appeals to you, be careful. Home repairs can get costly and even more so if you don't have the expertise and experience to handle the job. Luckily for buyers in Eastern, NC, there are many new homes being built in different sizes, styles and price ranges so that buyers can usually find what they are looking for in an area that they want to be in, making it unnecessary to have to do home improvements. This is good for those that are not very handy with tools.  To see some of the homes available in this area go to: https://www.firstcarolina.com/listings/ or join social media at: https://www.facebook.com/fcrhavelock/?notif_t=page_admin.
