How the first-time home buyers should go about their first deal February 24, 2015 Property buying, Tips and Guides 16 Comments Set Your Expectations right Just like every other pursuit, there is even a mindset that is required for the home buyers. The experts point out that the expectation of the homebuyer should be right and the best thing to do is to write it on a piece of blank paper. Nothing exists as a perfect home but there is definitely some home which is perfect for one. One must be sure about one’s wants before starting the process of buying. Few experts suggest that a wish list should be created and the financial documents should be ready so that one is sure about one’s buying power. One has to be patient and realistic while looking for one’s first home as it’s important to find a home that suits one’s budget at that point of time. One has to keep this in mind that one’s first home is not the last that one would be purchasing. Check your affordability : A realistic budget is all the more important as the observers point out that many first time home buyers do not know how much more money they have to spend on their new home. One should know one’s personal budget to know one’s affordability and then one should know the estimated amount and compare the two. A home that is within one’s affordability should be purchased. The neighborhood that suits your needs and requirements should be chosen. It’s always better to be pre-qualified for a mortgage so that one doesn’t end up spending more than one’s affordability. Evaluate if It Is Better to Rent or Own Rent expenses are always variable and it is likely that rent will be much higher in the next five years than what it is now. The reality is that it is much cheaper to own than to rent. One should know the tradeoffs between renting and owning an apartment or home of the size one is looking for. Consider the rent that you are paying at present and look for a mortgage loan of an equal amount of EMI, irrespective of what the bank tells you.

If you want to buy a home or an apartment under construction, this is the right time as you will get the advantage of the market prices when the construction is complete. Know the Buying Process: The realtors suggest not to be too emotional while purchasing the home until the deal is closed as things can go wrong at any moment. So it is always advisable to do a proper homework before entering into the deal. One should not get too fascinated with the price and the house you select should improve your living conditions. Choosing the Right Home: The property should be chosen according to one’s needs and it should be in the right location. At the end one should be happy with what one buys. If one has the feeling that one has got his or her dream home one should not delay in making the purchase decision. The home should meet your personal financial needs in probably the pre-approved amount. This will ensure the satisfaction for a longer period of time. You must go for the amount you are eligible for The buyer should not look for a house that he or she is qualified for the full amount of the mortgage. Just give the agent the idea of your affordability or the budget based on your mortgage amount. The mortgage or the loan officer should be well consulted and the options evaluated. One should look into a pre-approval for a loan and it’s always advisable to speak to a loan officer and know one’s finances as there are lot of opportunities available irrespective of one’s credit scores. A Pre-Qualified or Pre-Approved loan gives you an estimate : It’s always better to cut your coat according to your cloth as it’s disappointing to let go of a home which is out of your financial capacity. This is precisely the reason to get pre-qualified so that one is aware about one’s purchasing power. It’s not likely that one would attain hundred percent satisfaction purchasing one’s dream home. A trusted financial partner is advisable to be prequalified for a mortgage amount before you start looking for a home. Otherwise one may be misguided and can look in the wrong price range and waste one’s time. Find out if any Incentives are Available to You? It is always advisable to find out if there are any state level incentives or grants given through any regulations or whether there are any down-payment incentives. It is advisable to get pre-qualified by a mortgage company prior to the search of your home and evaluate any special programmes offered for the home buyers. Talk openly with the loan officers and find out any grants or incentives available. Other expenses of owning a home should be clear: Apart from the cost of buying the property there are other costs also like the taxes and the insurance. So it’s advisable to get educated on the down payment options, closing costs and the payments in the future. Benefits of hiring a competent Real Estate Agent: The past credentials of the real estate agents should be checked and the references cross checked with. The agent should be chosen based on the work ethics, knowledge and experience levels. Relate your expectations properly and make sure he understands it. It is better to ask your friends and colleagues for recommendations of the local realtors. One should hire a real estate agent who understands your needs and concerns. Make sure that the agent educates you thoroughly about the buying process and empower you to take a better informed decision. There must be an understanding between the realtor and the buyer. In choosing a realtor one should hire a well-educated, competent and a professional realtor who is a full time agent. Markets do vary from each other and a good realtor is one who can give you local information based on his experience. One should select a realtor who understands property values really well and also understands the local market along with the total real estate market conditions. 16 Responses Vinay June 7, 2016 This is one of the best article posted by you till now.
