For most first-time buyers, purchasing a home is a huge milestone. It’s about stability, independence, and finally getting into the market. But it’s also a long-term financial decision.
Even if you plan to live in your home for several years, it’s important to consider what it will be worth when the time comes to sell. A property with strong resale value gives you more options down the track—whether you're upgrading, investing, or relocating.
