How Do You Know If You Are Ready To Buy A Home?


HOW DO YOU KNOW IF YOU ARE READY TO BUY A HOME?

If you can answer yes to the following questions, chances are you are ready to purchase a home.

1. Will my job provide a steady source of income?

2. Is my income reliable?

3. Have I saved money for a down payment?

4. Have I been employed for the last 2-3 years?

5. Do I have a good record of paying my bills on time?

6. Do I have the ability to pay a mortgage plus the additional maintenance cost and utilities?

If you answered yes, it just may be the right time for you to start thinking about your situation and making a list of priorities like location and size of home. Establish a minimum requirements and a wish list. Start doing some casual research. Talk with friends and family and drive through neighborhoods to decide on the types of homes and the areas you like. Start your search for available homes on the internet.

Remember your home should fit the way you live and should offer the spaces and features that will appeal to your whole family.

Interview with a local Realtors to find the realtor that you feel comfortable with, someone who will be working for you and your best interest.
