Fall into Homeownership This November!

Think buying a home has to wait until spring? Not necessarily!
November can be a great time to start your homebuying journey, and getting prepared now can put you in a stronger position when you find the right home.

3 things every borrower should know:
-Get pre-approved early. Know your estimated budget and understand what you may qualify for before you start house hunting.
-Don't focus on the interest rate alone. Your monthly payment can also include property taxes, homeowners insurance, mortgage insurance, and HOA dues.
-Avoid big financial changes. Opening new credit cards, financing a vehicle, or making large unexplained deposits can complicate your mortgage approval.

Your dream home doesn't have a season. Let's make a plan to get you one step closer to homeownership!

Qualifying for a certain amount doesn’t always mean you should spend that amount. 🏡
Before you start house hunting, ask yourself what monthly payment actually fits your life. Leave room for savings, travel, everyday expenses, and the unexpected.
Start with the payment you want. Then work backward to the price.

Getting pre-approved is exciting, but what you do after approval can impact your loan and closing.

Until you have the keys, avoid these 5 common mistakes: financing a new car, opening new credit, making large unexplained deposits, changing jobs without talking to your lender, or running up credit card balances.

When in doubt, ask your lender first. A quick conversation can help keep your home purchase on track.
