TIPS for becoming independent and getting your first apartment

  • Since 2021, the number of young people aged between 25 and 35 who accessed a housing loan has increased.
  • Whether you’re looking for a shared apartment, furnished one, or just for yourself, always seek reliable advice.

Achieving independence and obtaining your first apartment is a decision that excites many but also brings concerns about the responsibilities it entails. However, securing your own home doesn’t have to be a source of worry, as there are various options available to help you achieve this goal. According to the National Institute of the Workers’ Housing Fund (Infonavit), there has been an increase in the number of young people aged between 25 and 35 who accessed a housing loan since 2021. Additionally, an analysis by the Real Estate Survey of Di Tella – Zonaprop revealed that in March 2022, Mexico City recorded a value 1.9% lower than in September of the previous year.

Here are some tips that will facilitate your search:

  • Consider your finances: Determine the budget for the initial payment, monthly installments, and, if applicable, maintenance fees requested by some places.
  • Have savings: It’s always beneficial to have a financial cushion in case of emergencies, renovations, or repairs in your new home.
  • Seek information and advice: Explore various apartment options, whether shared, furnished, or solely for you. Consult reliable websites that provide guidance and support throughout the process.
  • Think about your future plans: Consider your personal, relationship, work-related projects, or the possibility of relocating.
  • Take it easy: While you may come across appealing apartments that you’d like to buy immediately, it’s crucial to ensure the area facilitates your activities, provides security, or allows you to save time and money on commuting.
