"5 Tips to Save for a Down Payment
đSave this one so you can come back to it when youâre ready to start saving!
1ď¸âŁ Automate your savings. Set a specific amount of money to go into your savings every time a paycheck is deposited, for example. You wonât need to remember to do it yourselfâand can still make progress on your savings.
2ď¸âŁ Start selling items you no longer want or need. Instead of waiting until a few weeks before you move, sell those items now. The profit can go right into your savings account.
3ď¸âŁ Cut the cable cord. Choose one or two streaming platforms to pay for instead and put the extra money toward your down payment savings.
4ď¸âŁ Get a side gig. There are many ways to make extra money, like driving for a rideshare company or getting freelance workâremember to put your earnings right into your savings account.
5ď¸âŁ Adjust your car insurance. If youâre now driving fewer miles because youâre working from home or youâve improved your credit, you may be able to reduce your monthly insurance payments. All you have to do is call and ask.
Saving is important, but remember: itâs never too early to speak with a real estate agent too. Get in touch if youâre thinking of buying a house so we can help you prepare!
