Your First Step to Buying a Home and need more information?
Ask yourself why you want to buy a home:
- Stop paying rent?
- Build equity?
- A place of your own?
- Raise a family?
- To entertain friends and or business associates?
- To move up to a bigger house?
- Downsize to a smaller home?
The Second Step to Buying a Home
List what kind of home you’d like and where you would like to be. Be specific. Separate the “must haves” from the “want to have.” Check out our property listings search page to get some ideas.
Think of yourself as zeroing in on a target, going from the general to the specific.
- Consider which area (city, suburban neighbourhood, country); community (north, south, east, or west side)
- Type of neighbourhood older and settled or sparkling new
- A particular school zone or daycare
- Recreational facilities
- Community services
- Close to transportation
- Shopping, library, entertainment
- How much time are you willing to commute to work?
Next, Think about Home Styles:
- How much space do you need?
- Does your situation require a one-level home, or are stairs acceptable?
- Consider size and kind of property. Do you want a newer home, or maybe an older one to fix up?
- Someday you or your heirs will want to sell.
- Consider how long you expect to live in this particular home.
Your Next Step: Loan Pre-Qualification
Once you have addressed the above needs, your next step in the purchasing process is to get pre-qualified with a mortgage company. You can do this over the phone or even online in a matter of minutes.
