When you’re looking for a new home, there are a couple of things you need to do up front: know your financing options and prioritize your needs and wants. Get pre-approved with a lender you trust. Even if this will be your third or fourth home purchase, it’s important to get pre-approved. Many things can change during the home buying process: interest rates, available loan programs, your employment/income situation, or your credit profile. You need to know precisely the cost to live in a home in the price range you’re looking for. Find out if you will need a down payment, compare interest rates for fixed-rate mortgages versus adjustable-rate mortgages, and discuss all available options with your lender.When it comes to prioritizing your needs versus your wants, everyone’s criteria is different. Some things to consider:
How many bedrooms and bathrooms do you need?
How important are quality neighborhood schools?
How important is backyard privacy?
Do you want space for a home office or do you need space for a home office?
What is the commute time to places you frequently travel? (Check out the morning and evening drive time to work, schools, church, shopping, and your best friend’s house.)
Write down your priorities and share them with your agent, so the agent can find only those properties which best meet your true needs.
