If you want to buy a house this spring…
Caption:
Thinking of buying a home in [City] this spring? 🌸🏡 Here are the do’s and don’ts to help you navigate the market like a pro:
DO – Get pre-approved for a mortgage 🏦
Knowing your budget is key! A pre-approval letter not only makes you a stronger buyer but also saves you time in the long run.
DON’T – Buy a new car 🚗
This could affect your credit score and debt-to-income ratio, making it harder to get approved for a mortgage. Keep your finances steady before buying.
DO – Save for a down payment 💰
The more you can put down, the better your mortgage terms will be, and you may avoid PMI (private mortgage insurance).
DON’T – Take on new debt 💳
Avoid opening new credit cards or taking out loans before you buy. It can impact your loan approval and make things more complicated.
DO – Start house hunting early 🏡
The spring market is competitive, so begin looking ahead of time to get a jump on the best listings.
DON’T – Quit your job 💼
Job stability is important when applying for a mortgage. Lenders like to see that you’re secure in your income.
DO – Know your must-haves vs. nice-to-haves ✔️
Stay focused on what truly matters, like location and space, to make quick, informed decisions when the right house pops up.
DON’T – Forget to research the neighborhood 🌳
Make sure you love the area! Research schools, safety, amenities, and the general vibe to ensure it’s a great fit for your lifestyle.
DO – Work with an agent you love 💬
A great agent knows the local market and can guide you to the best properties and neighborhoods that suit your needs.
