5 Tips Before Buying a Home

By Living Room Realty, December 19, 2022

BEFORE you buy a home, know these 5 things 👇

#1. How much you’re approved for if you’re financing and how much of your monthly budget do you want to dedicate to your housing costs?

#2. If you’re financing, be sure to talk to at least 2 lenders to compare products and rates.

#3. Find a realtor who is knowledgeable about the neighborhoods you’re looking in and that you connect with. Buying a home can be an intimate process so it’s important to feel aligned with your realtor’s “style”.

#4. How competitive is the market for buyers right now? Having perspective before you start shopping can help make the process smoother.

#5. What are the top things you’re looking for in a home that you AREN’T willing to compromise on?
