WANT TO BUY IN 2024 ?
You ’ re ready to buy a house . Whether it ’ s your first home , your forever home , or your retirement home , buying a house is an exciting and exhausting experience . Make sure you ’ re prepared , with knowledge of the market and what exactly you ’ re looking for in a home .
1 . Watch your credit . Start preparing early by avoiding expensive purchases on your credit card and making sure you don ’ t deposit a large amount of money into your bank account . The first thing lenders check is your credit score and bank balances to determine how much you could be approved for on a home loan . Try to pay off as much debt as possible in advance of your home purchase and keep your credit card balances low .
2 . Where in the world ? Identify the locations where you ’ re interested in living and check out home prices in those areas . You don ’ t want to have your heart set on a location and come to find it is out of your budget . Determine what you like about certain areas , such as the school district , accessibility to work , and proximity to parks and restaurants . Your real estate agent can then help you narrow down more specific locations in which to focus your home search . 3 . Create a list . Or create a few lists . Must-haves versus wish lists are critical , especially if you ’ re buying a home with someone else . What do you consider a non-negotiable ? For you it may be a certain number of bedrooms or bathrooms .
