When buying a home, it's always a good idea to set a realistic budget. Securing a pre-approval will help you understand what you can truly afford. Remember to also factor in closing costs, taxes and insurance. Craft a realistic monthly payment plan, considering the "extras" like maintenance and unexpected bills. Remember, a comfortable buffer means you can enjoy your home, not stress about it.
