If you're buying your first home, it can be overwhelming. We are here for you every step of the way. Here are some tips that may help you.
You may realize that the range of options in your budget is limited. Make a list of 'must-haves', such as outdoor space, proximity to downtown, a garage and a home that requires no immediate repairs.
There are many different loan programs out there. You want to know which loan program is best for you. For first-time homebuyers, your best bet is to work with a trusted loan officer who can advise you on which program is best suited to your financial situation.
One part of the homebuying process is the home inspection. The home inspection is insightful, and will help you learn alot about your future home.
When most people think about negotiations between a homebuyer and seller, price is the first thing that comes to mind. However, there are several other negotiation points to consider if you want to increase the chances of your offer being accepted. These include being flexible with your closing date, making a larger down payment, covering a seller’s closing costs and even waiving certain contingencies.
Even though homebuyers must be given an estimate of closings costs prior to closing, it’s still difficult to know exactly how much you will owe since credits, prorations and taxes can fluctuate even up until the day of closing. For this reason, its best practice to budget extra for your closing costs. Being financially over-prepared is always better than being caught off guard.
