Home prices soared to new heights in 2021 and homebuyers are having to borrow more to afford their home purchase as a result, with the average home loan reaching $414,115 as of last measure, according to The Mortgage Bankers Association. As prices and loan amounts increase, borrowers have to come up with additional funds for down payments, forcing some to dip into their savings, take on second jobs, or borrow money from friends or family to remain competitive and afford the increasing costs of homeownership in the current market.

I ended 2021 with a bang! 💥 I ended up proposing to the love of my life and the mother of my son! This all happened when we took a limo ride to look at Christmas lights as a family. I was so nervous but deep in my heart I knew this was the day to do it! At the last house/ last stop, the driver pulled out the red carpet, and I was able to sneak behind Micheala with a huge bouquet of roses and get down on one knee to ask her to Marry Me :) It was 10° 🥶and absolutely freezing but it was SO worth it when she said YES <3. This was one of the best moments of my life and I can't wait to start planning our wedding! That being said, I am officially SOLD and off the market :P
