For most of us ,buying a home is the biggest purchase of our lives.Here's how to approach it with sense and confidence .

Get your head on straight:
It's easy to see something you can't afford, a bigger apartment, grander kitchen,better neighbourhood, more bedrooms, luxurious designs and start rationalizing why you need it and how you can get it . This is normal.
These intense desires,though, can cloud your judgement,maybe just temporarily but sometimes long enough to cause mistakes with long- lasting consequences.
This is wny savvy home shoppers nail down financing before shopping for homes.Know exactly what you can comfortably afford so you aren't tempted to stretch to pay more than you should .

Despite the coronavirus limitations and weather challenges - finally my client got their dream apartment🏡🎉

It's been the great timing for renters in current market which is heavily incentivized. It’s possible to pit one building against another to get perks like a month or two of free rent, or low security deposit and ofcourse no fee🍎

Only look at homes you feel confident you can comfortably afford -- it’s one of my top pieces of advice for homebuyers. ⁣
⁣
Today’s FAF (Frequently Asked Friday) tackles the question you’ll need the answer if you’re looking to buy: How do I know how much home I can afford?⁣
⁣
• Most experts recommend using the 28/36 rule which means you shouldn't spend more than 28% of your gross monthly income on housing and 36% on total debt (including your mortgage, credit cards, and other loans like auto and student loans).⁣
• For example, if your salary is $75,000 per year, your gross monthly income is $6,250 ($75,000 divided by 12). Your total housing costs (principal, interest, taxes, and insurance) shouldn’t exceed $1,750 per month (28% of $6,250). ⁣
• Keep in mind the 28/36 rule is just a general guideline. Adjust the percentages to your own comfort level and financial goals. ⁣

You made an offer and it has been accepted—go ahead, cue the confetti! And while it’ll be a few more days until you can move in, you’re well on your way to closing the deal on your new home sweet home. ⁣
⁣
Just a few more steps to go...⁣
⁣
It's Week 9 of the 90 Day to Homeowner Challenge, and today, I’m going to give you a quick rundown on what happens after you make an offer and your new home is “under contract.” So grab a cold one, kick your feet up, and take a listen to what’s coming up next in your home buying journey: ⁣
⁣
1. First, your agent will carefully review the purchase agreement to ensure you understand it and feel 100% comfortable with the terms and contingencies.⁣
2. You’ll need to meet with a mortgage lender to firm up financing details and lock in your interest rate.⁣
3. Once the home inspection report comes in (and you should definitely request a home inspection), you and your agent will negotiate any repairs with your seller.⁣
4. Towards the closing date, you’ll get a call from your closing attorney’s office to schedule your closing.⁣
5. Finally—it’s time to head to closing!⁣
⁣
Keep in mind that once your home is “under contract” lots of things happen behind-the-scenes. Don’t worry if it’s quiet for a few days—people are hustling to get everything just right for your closing. Of course, as questions come up, talk with your realtor. He or she is YOUR advocate every step of the way.⁣
