Here are some common home-buying questions :

1. What’s the first step in buying a home?

Start by assessing your financial situation and getting pre-approved for a mortgage. This will help you understand your budget and show sellers you’re a serious buyer.

2. How much can I afford?

A good rule of thumb is to spend no more than 28% of your gross monthly income on housing costs. Consider your savings, debts, and additional expenses to determine what fits your budget.

3. What should I look for in a neighborhood?

Consider factors like school quality, safety, amenities, commute times, and future development plans. Visit the area at different times to get a feel for the community.

4. Can I negotiate the price?

Absolutely! It's common to negotiate the price and terms of the sale. Work with your real estate agent to craft a strong offer and negotiate effectively.

5. How long does the buying process take?

The process can vary, but typically it takes about 30 to 60 days from the time your offer is accepted to closing. This includes time for inspections, appraisals, and securing financing.
