Must-Ask Questions for Couples Buying a Home Together

Communication is key — we all know that! But too often, couples make assumptions, especially when buying a home. In the real estate world, there’s even something called “divorce sales,” and trust me, the process can get messy. While these questions won’t guarantee to save your relationship, it’s super important to make sure you and your partner are on the same page before taking the plunge into homeownership. 🏡💬

Here are the most important questions to ask before buying a home together:

1. How do you see your future?
Do you want kids soon? Are you happy with your current job, or are you thinking about making a change? Make sure your plans for the future match up.

2. What’s your financial situation?
It might feel awkward, but talking about money is important. If you’re not ready to share your savings and debts, you might not be ready to buy a home together.

3. Can you both contribute, and what if one of you can’t?
Talk about what would happen if one of you lost your job. Are you both prepared to handle the financial responsibility?

4. How do you feel about household chores?
If neither of you is up for yard work or cleaning a big house, maybe you don’t need that big home or garden after all.

5. What do you each want in a home, and why?
You’re two different people with different tastes. Talk about what you both want in a home and why it’s important to you.

6. What if we break up?
You’re probably in a great place in your relationship, so thinking about a breakup might not be on your mind. But it’s important to consider all possibilities and plan for them.

These questions will help make sure you’re both on the same page and ready for the big step of buying a home together.
