Organizing your finances is the critical first step in your home purchase:
- Consider the one-time costs associated with a home purchase, including a down payment, legal fees, inspections fees, taxes and moving expenses.
- Understand ongoing monthly costs, including mortgage payments, insurance, utilities, property taxes, maintenance and, if applicable, condo fees.
- Taking into account the equity you may have in your current home and the applicable mortgage options avalible for your next move.
- Pre-qualifying for a mortgage gives you the comfort of knowing how much you can afford and what your monthly payments will be.
- A pre-approval from a mortgage lender protects you against intrest rate increases for a given period during your home search.
