Homebuying To-do List
It doesn’t matter if you’re a single, first time Homebuyer or are ready to right-size your home after retiring, it’s always a good idea to give your finances a thorough review. And, before you sign on the dotted line, here are a few must-dos to keep in mind when preparing for one of the biggest purchases of your life.
1. Check Your Credit
Credit scores are one of the most important criteria in the home buying process, and the higher your credit score, the better. Even if purchasing a home is not a part of your plan, it’s always wise to review your credit report each year to be sure it’s accurate and up to date.
2. Save Your Money
A down payment, closing costs and other fees can add up, so regularly saving money is a great way to prepare for your dream home purchase. Even if you have money in the bank before you purchase your new home, saving is always a good way to keep your budget in check.
3. Know Where You Want to Live
Check out different locations around town until you find an area you love. Whether you want a home that’s near a school, major employers or out in the country, knowing where you want to live should be at the top of your must-do list.
4. Do Your Homework
A Central Living home in the heart of downtown, a traditional single-family home in the suburbs or a Build on Your Lot cottage in the country… the possibilities are endless when buying a home. So, research your options so you’ll be prepared for your purchase when the time comes.
Buying a home is serious business, it’s also an exciting process! That’s why David Weekley Homes provides each buyer with a Personal Team - Sales Consultant, Design Consultant, Warranty Representative and Personal Builder℠ - to guide you through the process.
