The sooner you buy your first home, the greater your accumulated lifetime wealth. It may not be the perfect place, but if it has resale potential, you are building wealth

New Realtor.com research finds that buyers who purchase in their early 30s can net 22.5% more in wealth by age 50 than those who wait.

Amanda and Vincent DeRise beat the odds, closing on a 140-year-old New Jersey fixer-upper at 31 and 32 after getting outbid on move-in-ready homes, and have since poured $175,000 into renovations. "We've sacrificed so much," says Vincent. But with that early purchase locked in, the couple is on track to capture the full wealth-building power of homeownership before many of their peers have even started looking.
