See property potential

A lot of homes being sold are old. Therefore, it is important to budget for minor fixes. If you’re a fist time home buyer there are financing programs that will cover home improvement costs.

Budget

This might be the greatest advice of all. Create a budget and stick to it. Before starting to look at homes, speak to a mortgage bank and find out how much you are pre-approved for.

Bidding wars

These are very likely and costly in this market, do not let the competition leave you cash poor!
