Starting the process of purchasing a home can be scary for many first-time homeowners. As a self-described “frugal” person, the idea of buying a home was quite daunting for Daria A. Leon. However, the 28-year-old was ready to make that move.
Unfortunately, we have yet another example of what it’s like to be a Black homeowner. According to MarketWatch, a test was conducted that shows a firsthand account of what the housing market looks like for Black people versus their white counterparts.
Tomeka Langford felt unseen, and rightfully so, as her home was swiftly taken away from her. Then, it was sold to a white woman for free. A writer who believed to be the homebuyer of what was Langford’s home detailed the story via The Guardian.
