Spring is here, and so is the busy homebuying season! If you're thinking about buying a home, now is the time to prepare. Here are three key steps to set yourself up for success.
1. Get qualified* for a mortgage before house hunting. A lender-reviewed qualification strengthens your offer and can make the difference between landing a home or missing out.
2. Focus on affordability, not just rates. If you're ready to buy, don’t wait for rates to change. When rates drop, demand rises bringing more competition and potentially higher home prices.
3. Explore ways to lower your payment. Ask about discount points to secure a lower rate for the life of your loan.

*All loans subject to credit approval. A qualification is not an approval of credit, and does not signify that underwriting requirements have been met. Conditions and restrictions may apply.
