First Step to Buy your Home

Do your research early! Research historical house prices, the area where you would like to buy, and the price of other houses in that area. Besides property values, start analyzing your standing for mortgage qualifications such as your credit score, savings for down payment and closing, income requirements, and loan types. Being aware of your standing will help you be aware of what to improve and be in a better position when you start your homebuying process.
