Home Buying FAQs

How much do I need for a down payment?

A typical down payment is around 20% of the home’s purchase price, but there are loan options available with lower down payments, sometimes as low as 3% to 5%. The specific amount will depend on the type of loan and your financial situation.

What should I look for when touring homes?

When touring homes, focus on the property’s location, condition, layout, and any necessary repairs or renovations. Pay attention to factors like the home’s age, the condition of appliances and systems (HVAC, plumbing, electrical), and the neighborhood’s amenities and schools.

How do I make an offer on a home?

Your realtor will help you make an offer based on comparable sales (comps), market conditions, and the condition of the home. You’ll submit your offer in writing, and it may include contingencies such as financing approval, a home inspection, or an appraisal.

What are closing costs, and how much will they be?

Closing costs are fees paid at the closing of a real estate transaction, which typically range from 2% to 5% of the home’s purchase price. These can include loan fees, title insurance, taxes, inspection fees, and agent commissions. Your lender or realtor can provide a detailed breakdown of expected closing costs.
