Need a pre-approval before you go househunting?

It provides a clear picture of what you can afford, giving you the confidence to shop within your budget. Plus, it signals to sellers that you’re a serious and prepared buyer, potentially making your offer more attractive in competitive markets.

YOUR GUIDE TO FIRST TIME BUYERS

The down payment requirement can vary depending on the property value and your location, but it typically ranges from 5% to 20% of the purchase price. Programs for first-time buyers may allow down payments as low as 3.5%.

Yes, it is possible to buy a home with a low credit score. Some loan programs are designed to help buyers with lower credit scores, though you may face higher interest rates and additional requirements.

Common mistakes include not getting pre-approved, skipping a home inspection, underestimating the costs of homeownership, and not saving enough for a down payment and closing costs.

Many regions offer first-time buyer programs that may include benefits such as down payment assistance, tax credits, and subsidized interest rates. It's important to research and take advantage of any programs for which you are eligible.
