If buying a home has been on your mind but you’re not sure where to start, join us for “Thinking About Buying a Home? Let’s Talk It Through,” powered by Credit Union of Ohio on Thursday, March 19 from 5:30-7 PM at The Branch Workspace.
This free, after-hours conversation is designed specifically for young professionals and first-time homebuyers who want clarity before taking the next step. Registration is required. Soft drinks, bottled water, and sandwiches will be provided thanks to Credit Union of Ohio. Parking is free!
This is not a presentation or a sales pitch. It’s a guided, judgment-free discussion focused on what actually matters when preparing to buy your first home.
We’ll walk through:
Credit scores and common misconceptions
How much money you really need (down payments explained clearly)
Budgeting and affordability beyond what you may be approved for
Where to start and what the application process looks like
Dream home expectations versus income realities in Columbus
Why understanding your buying power comes before choosing a location
Questions are encouraged throughout, and no prior knowledge or commitment is required.
Who should attend: First-time buyers, renters considering a purchase in the next 1-3 years, and anyone feeling overwhelmed by conflicting advice online.
You do not need perfect credit, a timeline, or savings in place — just curiosity and a willingness to learn.
Space is limited to keep the conversation engaging. RSVP early to secure your spot.
