💸 6 Money-saving Tips For Buying Your First Home

📝 To help you avoid spending more than you need to, we’ve put together a few tips to keep in mind as you go through the home-buying process. Here’s how to, buy your first home like an economist.

1. Go Into Your Home Search Knowing What You Want And Don’t Want
For instance, how far is too far of a commute to work? How many bedrooms do you want? Does the home need a big backyard?

2. Think About Resale Value
For example, if the home has been on the market for a long time, it’s possible the asking price is too high.

3. Educate Yourself On The Local Data
Compare the asking price to this data to make sure it’s in line with the other local properties so you can make a fair offer and hopefully avoid a bidding war.

4. Be Smart With Your Offer Terms
Be smart about the terms of your offer when possible to protect your own interests.

5. Ask For Concessions
It’s possible the seller will opt to make the repairs himself, but if not, will likely give you the money if he’s serious about selling the property.

6. Don’t Be Afraid To Negotiate
Stand up for yourself and negotiate for what you think is fair.

🏠 Are you looking to buy your first home?

💫 The home buying process can be a little stressful, so take a look at these 5 tips for a first time homebuyer to help you prepare.

1. Start saving early and check your credit
Check your credit score before starting your search for a home, and do your best to dispute any discrepancies and take care of any outstanding debt as soon as possible.

2. Figure out how much house you can afford
Play around with a mortgage affordability calculator to figure out what you can afford based on your income now.

3. Explore your down payment and closing cost options
It’s a good idea to consider your two options here: pay them yourself or have the seller pay them for you.

4. Shop around for the best mortgage rates
Gather mortgage rate quotes from at least three lenders before deciding which one fits your budget and your needs best.

5. Get pre-approved
Before heading out to find your dream home, take the time to get a pre-approval letter from a lender that states how much they are willing to lend you and at what terms.

🛋️ If you’re selling your home, it has to look amazing in the photos you take to post online.

✨ To help your home look its best, implement the staging tips below and watch your home sell fast.

THE FURNITURE: How your home is furnished makes a big difference in how buyers perceive it, there are firms you can hire to bring in modern furnishings to make your home look bright, fresh, and clean.

THE FLOORS: If the flooring is badly worn or stained, it might make more sense to replace it. You can buy cheap flooring that might not necessarily be to your liking, but if it helps your home sell, it’s worth it.

WALL DÉCOR: Take some time to update your wall décor. Simply visit your local thrift store and pick out a few artsy pieces to hang on the walls while your house is on the market.

CLUTTER: If your rooms are full of wall-to-wall furniture, remove all but the most important pieces to allow buyers to see the potential for the space.

THE OUTSIDE OF YOUR HOME: Tidy up the yard, cut the grass, trim the bushes, and paint the front door to put the outside of your home in the best shape possible.

🌳 Choose The Perfect Tree For Your Yard

🏡 Whether you’re selling your home or plan to live in it for a long time, proper landscaping adds beauty while providing protection for your home.

What Is The Purpose Of The Trees?
Trees are beautiful, but beyond that, they also provide protection from all sorts of things. So, what is it you want your trees to do?

Consider A Tree’s Size And Lifespan
Shorter trees are great for yards with overhead power lines, but taller trees provide privacy and shade.

Know Which Trees Grow Best Where
It’s not enough to simply select a tree based on its beauty or ability to protect your home. The tree must also thrive where you plant it.

Tree Characteristics To Look For
When choosing a tree for your yard, look for the following characteristics to ensure you get a healthy one that will last for many years.
