Quick Glance: A South Bay Couple's Journey to Find Their First Home Amid Expecting a Baby
- Nishant Singh and Apeqsha Dudani decided to purchase a $1.5 million home in the Bay Area upon learning they are expecting a daughter in July. Despite high interest rates and fierce market competition, their budget ranged between $1.3 and $1.5 million.
- Prioritizing a single-family home with at least three bedrooms and space for parental visits in a good school district, they opted for a $1,339,000 house in South San Jose after considering various options in San Jose and Fremont.
- Although initially aiming not to spend more than $1.5 million, an offer of $1.625 million allowed them to secure the house. Despite the higher price, they achieved a $1,200 monthly savings on the mortgage and look forward to preparing their new home for their daughter.
- Two weeks after moving in, they are still adjusting to homeownership and plan to prepare the house for their daughter. Despite initial concerns about distance from friends, they are excited to host events and gatherings, including a baby shower in June.
