Actually, the title for this article is 'Parent's Should Consider Homes as Gifts". I laughed out loud when I read this headline on our Daily Real Estate News website.
I have 4 children...count them...4! My oldest daughter was just married in September this year. Everyday when I'm looking on the MLS at new listings or pending sales and even sold homes I see at least one, sometimes two houses daily that would be perfect for the newlywed couple. I hope to help all of my children with a down payment someday when they are ready to purchase a home (and pay for most of it themselves)! I will expect that each kid/couple has saved some money for a down payment so they at least have some skin in the game too.
If you are considering buying a home as a gift this holiday season, call me. I'm sure I can find the perfect home for you!
