Finding and Buying Your Home- An Easy Step by Step Process

When to begin your search for a home?

The process of buying a home will take much more time then buying a car or a computer, for most people is the single largest purchase in their lifetime. Home purchasing takes a lot more time and each family has a different timeline.

Here  are some basic steps a home buyer should consider.

A. Where to Live:

Get started by understanding where you should live first, this seems obvious yet it is often overlooked, most folks jump in a start looking at homes online which is a key step in the process, however it should not be the first one. At Back to The Burbs we believe that determining where to live is just as important as what you are living in.  We look to help you establish your needs, such as school systems, commuting time, recreational amenities (just to name a few) of numerous items to consider.

B.  Understand Your Finances – Do the Numbers

Most prospective home purchasers will require a mortgage to purchase a home. The process has become much easier; however, it can be challenging without preparation.

You will need to know your credit score, and what you can afford to purchase. Understand your finances and correct any issues that are impacting your credit while you are still in the early phases of your home search. Obtain pre-approval to understand the price ranges you can afford.
