There are eight major steps you will take when you buy a home:
Get prequalified - Your lender will look at your income, credit scores, revolving debts, obligations such as child support as well asthe type of loan you choose. Other factors that impact how much home you can buy is the down payment; smaller down paymentsmean higher monthly payments. Last, the interest rate and terms (30-year, fixed or adjustable rate) will determine what you canafford in monthly payments.
Make your wish list - Decide where you want to live and how many bedrooms and baths you’ll need. Consider lifestyle -condominiums offer shared amenities, with little responsibility. Single-family homes offer more space and privacy, but much moreexterior and yard maintenance.
Hire a real estate professional - Your real estate professional should be expert in the area where you want to live and familiar withthe type of home you want to buy. Your agent has house-by-house experience in your neighborhood and can offer the best advice onhomes in your range.
Select your home - No home is perfect, so don’t let minor flaws influence you. Think long-term. Which home best suits theactivities and needs of your household now and in the years ahead? Don’t buy more than you need or can comfortably afford.
Make an offer - Your offer depends on the current market. If a home has been on the market a long time, you can ask the seller fora price reduction, but if it’s new on the market, the seller is unlikely to accept a low offer. Ask your real estate professional foradvice.
Get an inspection - A home inspection is a professional third-party opinion of the home’s condition. The inspector will point outthe age of systems, and large and small repairs that are needed, so you’ll know what you’re facing as the next owner.
Get an appraisal - The bank appraisal determines market value. If the home doesn’t appraise for the purchase price, the bank willrefuse to make the loan unless you renegotiate with the seller. If it appraises, the lender will move toward closing.
Go to closing - Once final negotiations are complete, the parties to the transaction meet at the escrow office. This could be a titlecompany, real estate attorney, or whatever is customary in your area. All paperwork is signed by both parties. The lender pays theseller, minus any liens against the home such as the seller’s mortgage. Once all the disbursements have been made, you get the keysto your new home, according to your agreement.
Congratulations! You’re ready to move into your new home.

With the dramatic rise and fall of housing prices over the last decade, consumers have new respect for homes as investments. Butthe flip side, is that your investment is still a home, one you’re likely to occupy for several years or more.
According to the annual Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers, compiled by the National Association of REALTORS®, the primaryreason buyers cite for purchasing a home is simply the desire to own, followed closely by the desire for more space, and a change inthe family situation.
For most people, buying a home is more about giving household members more comfortable living arrangements and putting themcloser to jobs, favorite activities, other family and friends.
What are your goals for buying a home? You might want a better home and neighborhood. You might want a different kind ofliving experience, such as moving from an apartment to a single-family home with a private garage and yard. Your family may begrowing, so you have to think about school districts and proximity to parks and other recreation.
If you’re not certain, you might think about what would change about your situation if you became a homeowner.
You’ll definitely be more established. If you’re like most homebuyers, you expect to stay in your new home about 10 years.
You’ll also build equity for yourself, instead of for someone else. Every payment you make, plus the rules of inflation will eventuallyallow you to recoup most if not all of your investment, or make a profit when you sell.
Affordability may also be an important factor for you. The combination of low interest rates and low prices allows you to buy morehome for the money. Rents are rising, making ownership more affordable than renting in many areas, especially when you factor intax incentives such as mortgage interest deductions and property taxes allowable as deductions against your income.
When you buy, make your goals long-term. Choose the home you think will serve your household’s needs the best for the longestperiod of time, as it’s been proven that the longer you own a home, the more equity you’ll build. Today’s market conditions andaffordability, make it more likely that you will reach your homebuying goals, no matter what they are.

Buying a home is a long-term commitment. The home you buy should be affordable, yet offer the size, features and amenities youand your family want.
Affordability
Your monthly payments should be comfortable for you to handle, in relationship to your total obligations, about 28% of grossmonthly income. Your house payment and your debts should not exceed 36% of your income, including revolving credit, studentloans, and child support.
You should also be in the correct loan for your needs. A fixed rate is more expensive, but offers more protection than an adjustablerate mortgage that can reset to a higher amount, making your monthly payments higher.
Also, consider the monthly operating costs of the home including utilities, HOA fees, landscaping, commuting, and other costs.
Location
Location is about convenience, and you’ll pay a premium to be closer to work centers, parks, shopping and transportation. You canbuy a smaller home, or you can buy a home in need of updates to get closer to where you need to be.
Think about your commutes to frequent destinations, including jobs, schools, family and friends. To get “more house,” you mayhave to move further away from core city centers.
Features
Make a list of must-have features so you can narrow your home search. A front porch, a two-car garage, hardwood floors, and eat-inkitchen can all add to the enjoyment of your home.
Just as important is how your home is designed. The number of bedrooms and baths should suit your household members, and thelayout should suit your lifestyle.
If you like to entertain, you should have plenty of dining space and storage for dishes and cookware. If you frequently work at home,you’ll need a home office or at least a quiet designated workspace.
Just make sure the home you choose allows room for your family to grow.
Talk to your lender and see what you can qualify to buy, then talk with your real estate professional about the home you have inmind. With professional guidance, you should be able to find and buy the home of your dreams, where you’ll be happy for a longtime to come.

Before you submit an offer, have your agent pull up the most recent sold comparables (CMA) within a reasonable radius of thehome, so you can compare the home fairly in terms of location, size, features, and amenities.
Next, ask your agent about market conditions, so you can choose a strategy.
• In a buyer’s market, discounts are common because there are fewer buyers, more properties for sale, and home prices are soft orfalling.
• In a seller’s market, homes sell quickly for full price or higher because there are plenty of buyers and few homes for sale.
Whether you are in a buyer’s market or a seller’s market, your goal is to buy the home at a fair price. If you were the seller, what isthe lowest possible price you’d accept?
Low-balling the seller is risky. If the seller feels insulted by your offer, you’ve lost the opportunity to negotiate. On the other hand,some sellers are simply unrealistic about their home’s value. Maybe your offer will be their wake-up call.
If the seller’s home is offered at a reasonable price, pay asking price or close to it. A home priced to sell will sell quickly. Is there away to sweeten your offer with a quick closing or an all-cash sale?
To show the seller you’re serious, include a copy of your lender’s pre-approval letter, along with a cover letter summarizing yourstrengths as a buyer in terms of creditworthiness, flexibility in closing, and why you love this home. Include a copy of yourcomparables to show why you feel your offer is a fair price for the property.
If your offer is conditional, such as your need to sell another home before closing on the seller’s, you’ll have to find a way to sweetenthe deal, such as a full-price offer. Few sellers would accept a discount and a contingency at the same time.
Your real estate professional will help you draft the offer with a price, estimated closing date and terms, including earnest money (aguarantee that you’ll perform as a buyer in good faith,) final approval by your lender and your right to have an inspection.
Once your offer is negotiated and accepted, your earnest money will be sent to the escrow agent's office. Now the inspections occur,and this is where the contract negotiations can break down.
During the inspection process, the inspector will tell you about the condition of appliances, heat and cooling systems, roofs,electrical and plumbing systems, etc, and if your future home is up to current city codes.
You should only renegotiate a repair when it wasn’t obvious before, or when a system is unsafe or not functioning.
Once the seller has agreed, your offer is now a binding contract, and you’ll proceed to closing.
