Are you thinking about buying in 2024?  Well…NOW is the time to start really preparing for the purchase.

First order of business is getting your finances in order.  If you’re going to be financing the home, you need to alert your preferred lender and make sure you are prepared for the purchase.  This will eliminate the disappointment when I find you your dream home and you learn that it’s outside of your budget.  Not a fun topic, but the most important.  Plus, if you’re proactive in this department, many times you can increase your budget by allowing yourself enough time to save more for that down payment.  Stressful, but not nearly as bad as not being prepared and missing out on a good opportunity by being complacent. 

Next…knowing what you want is a huge part of the process.  Seems obvious, but there’s more to it.  The most effective way to streamline this is to determine the non-negotiables and stick to them.  I’m not talking about pool or no pool and brick vs stucco, but rather the BIG must haves.  These are the biggies.  Location, beds/baths, school districts, etc.  Once you have those locked in we’re off and running and you just saved yourself a bunch of time and effort. 

We can now hyper focus our search towards the fun stuff.  Your WANTS.  New versus old, ranch versus two story, 3 car garage, or a basement.  This is the list of things you would love, but can live without.

If you are currently renting, review your lease and find out if you can get out early or how much notice you need to provide your landlord.  Many times, landlords will let you break your lease if they have someone else ready to move in at a higher rate.  If you are going to sell a home to buy the new home, that’s also something very important to consider. 

Remember, buying a home is typically the biggest investment of your life.  Being ready will lower your stress and let you focus on the fun part…CLOSING DAY!!!

Let's discuss!
