When it comes to finding your dream home, money matters.

As soon as you decide you want to take the leap into homeownership, it’s time to start budgeting your money and saving up for your down payment, which is typically anywhere from 3%-20% of the purchase price of the home.

While there are many costs involved with purchasing a home, coming prepared with your finances will position you in a better place to purchase your home with ease.

Below I’m sharing 3 money tips you’ll need to keep in mind during your house hunt.

👉Know what you can afford
Before you start shopping, and even before you talk to a lender, decide how much you feel comfortable spending on a mortgage. Consider how much money you would actually feel comfortable spending, and what would leave some wiggle room in your budget.

👉Credit score check
Once you decide to start saving for a home, pull your credit report. This will tell you whether your credit score is high enough to qualify for a mortgage. If it’s not, you can work on increasing it before you talk to a lender.

👉Save for extra expenses
Don’t forget to set aside money for any other expenses associated with your new home, including moving expenses and new furniture, any renovations you might need to make- along with closing costs.

Sellers! The demand for homes right now is higher than the current supply, making it a competitive market for buyers.

🔸 To get the best price for your home, work with an accomplished realtor (Me!) who truly knows your market!
🔸 Make certain to sit tight for the right offer. Some buyers may attempt to gut punch you with a low number. In the event that you’re not in a rush to move, sit tight for an offer that gives you the most benefit.

Chances are prices are consistently climbing in your area. Why not take advantage and sell your home for top dollar in this market! Remember, nothing moves upward forever. Markets can shift surprisingly quickly from seller’s to buyer’s markets if prices rise too high and too fast, or if so many homeowners in your area try to sell at the same time that supply starts to exceed demand.

When you’re ready to look for homes, consider what works best for you now — and what will work best for you in the future. Ideally, you should plan on staying in your new home for the next five to seven years (or longer). Doing so can help you pay down the mortgage and build equity.

For a house to be your perfect home, it will have to grow with you.

🗝 If you’re planning on having kids, you may need an extra bedroom or two
🗝 Think you might start working remotely? You’ll want that home office
🗝 While you don’t want to overdo it and buy a five-bedroom home when you’re single, be sure to give yourself some room to grow
