Let’s be real, these are uncertain times. The coronavirus is scary and buying a home in 2020 might seem scary. Yet, the housing market remains strong, and for those ready to enter the housing market, low rates and new homes are waiting.
But how can you know for sure that now is the time to buy? ?
Buying A Home In 2020 – Are You Ready?
First off, you should ask yourself these five questions:
- Do you have a stable employment history?
- Do you have a handle on your debt?
- Do you have a decent amount of savings?
- Are you happy with your credit score?
- Is the market is working in your favor? With mortgage rates at record lows, odds are yes.
Once you are feeling confident about moving forward with buying a new home, you’ll want to understand the steps.
Buying A Home In 2020 – Steps To Success
In general, most home sales involve the following 10 steps:
- Calculate How Much House You Can Afford
- Save For A Down Payment And Closing Costs
- Get Preapproved For A Mortgage
- Find The Right Real Estate Agent For You
- Begin House Hunting
- Make An Offer On A House
- Get A Home Inspection And Appraisal
- Ask For Repairs Or Credits
- Do A Final Walkthrough
- Close On Your New Home
Buying a house is a lot of work. First, you need to decide if you’re ready to be a homeowner and what your budget is going to be. Next, the fun begins – shopping for properties. Pro Tip: Find a reliable real estate agent to back you up. Trust us, they will make everything easier. Once you find a home, your agent will help you submit an offer and negotiate with the seller.
Once you reach an agreement, it’s time to get an appraisal and inspection. If the inspection uncovers some issues, you may want to negotiate repairs or credits with the seller. Be sure to do one more walkthrough in the house before you buy it once all of the work is complete. If everything looks good, then it’s time to close the deal – and enjoy your new status as a homeowner!
