FIRST TIME HOMEBUYER What do you need to know to make buying your first house easy and affordable.

Why Buy  Tax deduction  Stable housing costs  Appreciation on your investment  Gain equity  You control your property

What type of home?  Type of community  New home  Resale home  Fixer-upper  # bedrooms  # bathrooms  Garage, etc.

How much home can you afford?  Housing cost < 29% of gross income  Housing costs & debt no more than 36% of gross income  Consider special loan programs

Why be pre-approved?  You know what you can afford before you begin to shop  Shows seller you are serious about buying  Can make an offer as soon as you find the home you want

Documents for Pre-Approval  Pay stubs (2-3 months)  W-2 forms (2 years)  List of long term debt  Recent bank statements  Tax returns (2 years)  Proof of any additional income

What kind of mortgage is right for you?  Do you expect your finances to change?  Are you planning to lice in the home for a long time?  Are you comfortable with your payment fluctuating?  Do you want to have your mortgage paid off by a certain time?

Fixed Rate Mortgage  Payment remains the same  15 or 30 year repayment terms  Advantages: predictability & insurance against rising interest rates

Adjustable Rate Mortgage  Payments increase or decrease on a regular schedule with interest rate changes  Increases are subject to limits  ARM linked to specific index or margin  Advantages include a low initial interest rate with lower monthly payments

15 VS. 30 Year Terms  30 year – in first 23 years of loan more interest paid than principal affording larger tax deductions  15 year – Loan is generally at a lower interest rate and equity is built faster because early payments pay more to principal

Special Programs Available  First time homebuyer  No down payments  Less than perfect credit  Heavy debt burden  Irregular income or self employment

How Your Realtor Can Help  Guides you through the process, buying or building  Knows the community  Can provide you with lists of homes that meet your requirements

How A Realtor Can Protect You  Seller is represented by the listing Realtor  Listing Realtor is bound to protect and represent the seller  A buyer’s agency would be bound to protect and represent you (the buyer)

Begin Looking For Homes  Compare to list of “must haves”  Imagine your furniture – will it fit?  What is the state of repair (or disrepair)?  Ask your Realtor to point out the pros & cons

When You’ve Found The Home You Want  Determine amount you’re willing to offer  Decide how much earnest money you’ll put down

Determining the Amount of the Offer  What are comparable homes selling for  What is the home’s condition  How long has the home been on the market  What are the financial terms  What is the seller’s situation  Rely on you Realtor for guidance  Be prepared to negotiate

About the Earnest Money  Usually between 1-5% of the purchase price  If offer is accepted, earnest money becomes part of your down payment or closing costs  If offer is rejected, the money is returned to you  If you back out of the deal, you forfeit the money

Making the Offer  Your Realtor will assist you in making the offer, which will include:  Legal description of property  Amount of earnest money  Down payment and financial details  Proposed closing date  Price you are offering  Length of time offer is valid  Details of the deal
