Let’s Be Real… Nobody’s Buying Their “Dream Home” Right Now
Every time I see a real estate ad saying “Let me help you buy your dream home,” I die a little inside.
Not because it’s wrong — but because it’s something we all say out of habit.
Here’s the truth:
In 11 years of real estate, do you know how many people I’ve actually sold their true dream home?
Three.
Maybe four.
Total.
And listen — it’s not because people don’t want one. It’s because life, budgets, and interest rates exist.
And in 2025? Honey, nobody is sliding into a beachfront mansion with 5,000 sq ft, a waterfall pool, palm trees swaying dramatically in the breeze, and a hot tub that looks like it belongs in a resort.
(Trust me — that’s MY dream home, and even I can’t afford it right now.)
But here’s what people ARE buying:
• A home that fits their needs.
• A home that fits their family.
• A home that fits their actual budget.
• A home that sets them up for the next chapter.
And honestly? There’s nothing wrong with that.
The real “dream home” for most people isn’t a Pinterest fantasy — it’s a place that’s:
• safe
• functional
• affordable
• in the right school zone
• and doesn’t suck up your entire paycheck
And for a lot of people, the dream home comes LATER — after career growth, after some equity, after life settles down.
So here’s your friendly hometown reality check:
You don’t have to buy your forever home first.
You don’t have to compete with unrealistic expectations online.
And you’re not failing if your dream home is still a dream.
You’re building toward it — one smart, intentional step at a time.
And THAT is how most people get to the real dream home later.
Not through fantasy… but through strategy.
