Tips for Buying a New Home

Interest rates and home prices have never been lower so now is the best time to buy a home.  Buying a home is a decision that will affect you for many years to come.  (An average home buyer will live in their home for 8 years.)  SO where do you start?

1)  Financing:  This drives the whole transaction.  You must be able to get a loan and be comfortable with the terms.  Get pre-qualified with a reputable lender.  Know your options.  You can get into a home for 3.5% down or even 100% down!  Please call us with questions or for a recommendation!  j0433178

2)  What is creating the urge to move?  What are must haves and what can you live with?  Most home buyers cannot afford everything on their wish list.  It is important to establish these ground rules before you get emotionally involved.

3)  Do your research.  Check out the builders to make sure they are reputable.  Check out product warranties, finishes, energy efficiency, allowances, etc.
