Forget espresso machines and new silverware. Did you put a down payment fund on your wedding registry? Are you planning to do so?
Espresso machines. Pizza ovens. A fancy new china set.
Many things can go on a wedding registry, but what about asking guests to contribute funds for a down payment on a new home?
At a time when homeownership has become increasingly inaccessible, the Real Estate section at The Times is working an article on how buying a home is now an integral part of the conversation at many American weddings. In 2023, nearly 20 percent of couples registered on The Knot were asking their guests to contribute to their down payment, according to an analysis from The Knot and Zillow Home Loans.
We are hoping to hear the experiences of couples with a house fund on their registry to inform the reporting.
We’ll read every response to this questionnaire and will contact you if we’re interested in learning more about your story.
