How do you actually know if you’re ready to buy your first home? In this kickoff episode of Your First Home Podcast, I’ll walk you through six must-check boxes that every future homeowner needs to confidently say “I’m ready.” From understanding your “why” behind buying a home to evaluating your finances, credit, debt, and income stability, you’ll learn what it really takes to make one of the biggest financial moves of your life without the overwhelm. If you’ve ever wondered whether now is the right time to buy, or how to know when you’re truly ready, this episode is your roadmap to clarity and confidence. 

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• The six key signs you’re ready to buy a home.

• Why your “why” matters more than your timeline.

• How to calculate what you actually need saved.

• What lenders really look for in your credit and income.

• The truth about equity, down payments, and long-term planning.

• Why it’s normal to never feel 100% ready (and what to do anyway.)
