Get Pre-Approved
Know your budget before you start looking. Pre-approval gives you confidence and strengthens your negotiating position.
Calculate All Costs
Beyond the purchase price, budget for legal fees ($1,500-$2,500), inspections ($500-$800), and moving costs.
Timing Matters
Spring and autumn typically see more listings. Winter can offer better deals with less competition.
Get Inspections
