First Time Home Buyer Experiences?

Hi everyone.
I am planning to move from the south (Texas) to be with my fiance who lives and works in Pleasant Prairie. We are interested in becoming first time home buyers, hopefully sometime in 2027. We are aware of the state of the current housing market in Kenosha, and it has caused some concerns for us as we are looking at starter homes in our realm of affordability (250k-300k). We have been mostly looking in Kenosha and surrounding neighborhoods like Salem Lakes, Bristol, Sommers, and some spots in northern Illinois too. I just wanted to hear from some of you other young couples/individuals or first time home buyers on your experience purchasing your first home in Kenosha (or surrounding neighborhoods)? What difficulties did you experience and how did you overcome them?

Thank you!
