When Jake and Victoria decided to leave NYC and relocate to New Jersey, they knew it was probably one of the worst times to buy a house. Although the current housing market initially felt like The Hunger Games, these first-time home buyers eventually scored the perfect home for $441,000. They share what they learned along the way, from working with a real estate agent to nearly doubling their down payment (without external assistance). Plus, they take you inside their cozy 3-bedroom home decorated with colorful, eclectic furnishings and gorgeous plants.
