Real Estate, Real Life

We talked about preparing to buy a home, you have your money you have an agent and you have your loan. Once you have your budget all you have to do is decide on the house. t's easy now, right? Well..... Not quite. Just because you can spend $200,0000 doesn't mean you can buy a home of the same value. If you are in an are of multiple offers you might need to shop in the $185k range so you can compete during the offer stage. Then location - city, township - depending on location the price of the home you can afford to spend value might change because of the cost of taxes and insurance. You can get what you need you may not always get what you want. What's more important? Amenities - beds, baths, acreage, granite & stainless steel, tiled shower vs insert, Open plan living, one story 2 story garage, close to the lake, out in the country Do you want to buy new? If so do you have time to spare it can take 6 - 9 months. Maybe there is a spec home. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/melannie-ha

What do you need to consider before buying a home? Some people think finding the home is the first thing to do and then they can figure out the rest. And while the home is the most important part of the transaction it is probably not the first thing you should be focusing on. First are you ready, willing and able to buy a property? What does that mean? What does the process look like? What are your obligations as the buyer? What is the time frame etc. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/melannie-hay/support
