Preparing Yourself for the Spring Home Buying Season

April and May tend to be the most popular months for new home buyers and sellers.  The good news? More inventory! The bad news – less time to decide and more competition!  So be prepared and you won’t miss out on your dream home!

Know what you can afford and speak with a lender. Any offer you make will be more appealing with a pre-approval from a mortgage lender.

Have your down payment ready. Most loans require a 20% down payment in order to not require additional mortgage fees.  Having your down payment already saved means being able to move quickly once your offer is accepted.

Research the neighborhoods you want to be in, the type of home you want and the builders you trust to build a quality home.

If you have a home to sell make sure you have it already listed or ready to list as soon as you find the home you want. Begin the decluttering process so you can have it open house ready as soon as possible.

Spring is an excellent time to buy so make sure you don’t miss out on the opportunity to buy your dream home!
