My fiancé bought a house before we started dating. I was renting. I have since moved into his house. I want us to sell this house and buy a new one that can be “our” house and he thinks I’m being ridiculous. What do you think?

Question

Answer

If it’s a smart move financially then maybe it can be done in time. It’s unreasonable to expect it to happen just because it’s sounds like a good idea.

Answer

It's expensive to buy/sell houses (realtor commissions, etc). Unless there's another reason to move just stay in this home. You'll figure out ways to make it feel like your home too!

Answer

I don’t think you’re being ridiculous but it may be a bit unnecessary if that’s the only reason for moving. My husband bought his house a few months before we started dating and we’re still in it without issue.

Answer

Oops my finger slipped and I clicked the wrong one. I think you’re being unreasonable.  When you’re together your assets are together. There’s no reason to get a different house. 
Maybe in the future when you have extra money perhaps but I think it should be a financial choice rather than an emotional choice.

Answer

It is perfectly reasonable for you to want that.
And it is perfectly reasonable for him to disagree and not want that. Seems like the sorta thing you would discuss before moving in, to me...🤷🏽‍♀️

Answer

I don't really see the point 🤷 My boyfriend and I would like to have any house of our own. Be lucky you have anything. I wouldn't go to all the hassle though for a reason like that. Only if its really unfeasible to live there for some reason

Answer

It depends on if it is financially smart. If he hasn't lived in it long it may not make sense. 
Can you redecorate/renovate so that you put your "stamp" on it and make it feel like yours?

Answer

Get a quitclaim deed and add your name to the house

Answer

If it ain’t broke then don’t fix it.

Answer

It depends if the house is nice/suitable/fits your needs
