Pricing & Financing
How much can you afford and what is 'market value'? Buying a home usually means taking out a mortgage. That means you borrow money to buy a home, using that home as collateral for the loan. Buyers should get pre-approved from a financial institution BEFORE they begin their house search. The goal is to get a mortgage you can live with and a home that provides the best value for your needs.
Finding the Right Home
When looking for your dream home, it is important to keep in mind the “L” formula: location, layout and lot. This is important for two reasons: 1. Future resale value and 2. Lifestyle convenience. Future resale value may not seem important to you now but in the years to come when you want to upgrade or downgrade and retire, this factor’s value will become all too apparent.
