The home buying process typically involves getting pre-approved for a mortgage, searching for a home, making an offer, negotiating, conducting inspections, securing financing, and closing the sale.
Assess your income, expenses, savings, and debt. Use a mortgage calculator to estimate monthly payments, and consult with a lender for pre-approval to establish a clear budget.
A mortgage is a loan used to buy a home, where the property serves as collateral. You repay the loan in installments over time, usually with interest.
Pre-qualification is an informal estimate of how much you can borrow based on self-reported financial information, while pre-approval is a formal process involving a lender's review of your financial history and documentation.
Down payments typically range from 3% to 20% of the home's purchase price, depending on the loan type. As a cost savings, you may want to aim for at least 20% down payment to avoid private mortgage insurance (PMI).
Closing costs are fees associated with finalizing the sale, usually ranging from 2% to 5% of the home’s purchase price, including loan fees, title insurance, recording fees, and taxes.
A real estate agent is a licensed professional who assists in buying or selling homes. They provide market insights, negotiate offers, handle paperwork, and guide you through the process. Your Home Sold Guaranteed Agents provide the added benefit of guiding you through our Guaranteed Sale Programs!
Consider location, price, size, layout, condition, and amenities. Evaluate the neighborhood, schools, and potential for future value appreciation.
Market conditions vary by location but generally refer to the balance of supply and demand, affecting home prices and how quickly homes sell. Reach out to Tina Gibson at Your Home Sold Guaranteed Realty for a neighborhood report or market analysis.
A home inspector evaluates a property's condition, identifying any issues with structure, systems, and safety before the sale. This helps buyers make informed decisions.
Buying builds equity, offers tax benefits, and provides stability. Renting offers flexibility, lower upfront costs, and less maintenance responsibility.
Pay bills on time, reduce debt, keep credit card balances low, avoid new credit inquiries, and check your credit report for errors to improve your score. Talk with your lender for steps to take to improve your credit that are customized to your indivual credit situation.
Declutter, clean, and depersonalize your space. Arrange furniture to highlight flow, use neutral colors, and enhance curb appeal to attract buyers.
An appraisal is an evaluation of a property's value by a licensed appraiser. It ensures the property is worth the loan amount and protects lenders from over-lending and buyers from over-paying.
Contingencies are conditions that must be met for the sale to proceed, such as passing inspections, securing financing, or selling another property. Our agents at Your Home Sold Guaranteed Realty can help explain any contingencies when buying or selling a home.
Property taxes are based on a home’s assessed value and help fund local services. Research your area’s tax rates (generally available on county website for buyers, and tax bill received or county website for sellers) and potential increases before buying. Depending on when taxes are due and if they have already been paid, the taxes may be pro-rated between buyer and seller at closing.
Consider factors like safety, schools, amenities, commute times, and community vibe. Visit at different times to gauge the environment and speak with residents.
Avoid overextending your budget, neglecting inspections, skipping professional guidance, ignoring market conditions, and being inflexible with negotiations. There are many aspects to a home transaction to consider! Reach out to Your Home Sold Guaranteed Realty today and we will guide you through it!
