Default Re: advice for first time home buyer?

The first is to pay off that 15k student debt as fast as you can to get it off your credit history.

So given our current situation of wanting to buy a home within the next year, you feel we should pay off the student debt before saving for a down payment? Originally I was thinking along those lines, however recently I've been leaning the other way. The money we are saving is going to go towards on of the two things, which ever makes more sense financially. Your advice is actually the opposite from what most have told me. Are you considering our time frame into your advice?
