Is homeownership on the horizon for you in 2024? If you’re thinking of buying or selling a home, we have gathered a helpful guide of questions you should answer to keep you a step ahead of hitting your homeownership goals.
Why?
Really sit down and list the reasons you want to buy or sell your home. Are you ready to be a first-time homeowner? Have you outgrown your current home – or is your home not able to keep up with your evolving lifestyle and needs? These motivations matter before taking the next step, and the right real estate agent can expertly lead the way.
What is your dream home?
You need to be able to clearly define and describe what your dream home looks like. Especially in this tight market, it’s important to be able to nail down detailed needs and wants. Where is your dream home? What does it look like and how is it laid out, inside and out? An experienced agent that knows the area well can help you balance your checklist with your budget, all while making it a place that will feel like the dream home you’ve always wanted.
Is this the right time for you to buy?
This is the time to get real about your finances: you budget and the savings you have in place. Plan ahead and calculate the down payment you need for a successful purchase, work with a lender to get pre-approved for a home loan, and, if you are selling before you buy, assess your current home equity and whether or not that can be considered, too.
Do you have the best team to support you?
The complicated process of buying or selling a home should not be a solo effort. Be sure to enlist a team of industry professionals to partner with you and ensure you have the comprehensive support needed to navigate the 2024 housing market with success.
