first home

Where you started

A first home is a property someone purchases as their initial entry into homeownership, often with special financing or tax incentives designed to help buyers make that transition: first-time homebuyer programs, saving for our first home.

The term carries associations of milestone achievement and financial independence.

In baseball and softball, first home is an old term for first base.
