Am I really ready to buy?
Buying a home offers many advantages, one of the most significant being that it allows you to build equity (ownership) when you pay your mortgage each month. A common myth is that monthly mortgage payments are more expensive than rent. But, in many cases, mortgage payments can be even less than rent. When considering home ownership for the first time, you need to decide whether buying makes financial and practical sense for you right now or if you are better off renting. Consider both the advantages and disadvantages to renting as well as buying, and weigh the pros and cons for your particular situation.


How much “house” can I afford?
The first step toward finding the right home is to quickly compute your purchasing power and determine how much you can afford to pay each month. This saves you time by allowing you to focus on homes in your price range. You can click how much can I afford and use the banner above to help you with this.




In addition, you should consider both the up-front and ongoing costs associated with purchasing a home in the planning stage.


Some up front costs include:
  • Down payment: Typically ranges from 3.5-30% of the cost of the house. The more you can put down, the greater equity you will have in your home and the lower your monthly payment will be. For down payments less than 20% you may also need to pay mortgage insurance.


  • Closing Costs: Typically range from 2-6% of the loan amount depending on your area.

  • On-going Costs:
    Your housing costs can include the following:
    • Monthly mortgage payment
    • Homeowners insurance
    • Mortgage Insurance (if applicable)
    • Flood Insurance (if applicable)
    • Property taxes
    • Utilities
    • Maintenance

For how much can I get pre-qualified?
Before you go looking for a home, you should see if you are financially able to get a mortgage and get an estimate of what you pre-qualify for from a lender. If you are working with a real estate agent, getting pre-qualified lets them know you are a knowledgeable and serious buyer.


Testimonials
"I wanted to let you know how impressed I was with the job everyone did at your company. I have refinanced several times in the past and usually pick the company that has the lowest rates. Of course I did the same when I chose your company. However, this time I received great service to go with the low rate."
Mary & Steve R.
"I just wanted to thank you for constantly following up with me. The last time I refinanced it seemed as if I always had to follow up with the mortgage company. Thanks for staying on top of everything and keeping things moving forward."
Don J.
"Your company was so much more professional then the last mortgage company I used. Every question I asked was answered honestly and accurately. I would recommend you to anyone."
