🏠✨ When buying a home, it's important to budget for key expenses like your down payment, closing costs that typically range from 2-5% of the loan amount, and an earnest money deposit of 1-2% to show you're serious about your offer. These costs can vary, but working with trusted professionals will help you navigate the process and make confident decisions.

Knowing what to budget for when buying a home may feel intimidating — but it doesn’t have to be.

🏡 An appraisal contingency is a safeguard in real estate contracts, giving buyers options if a home’s appraised value comes in lower than the agreed price. This clause lets you renegotiate, cancel the deal without losing your deposit, or pay the difference if you still want the property. While it’s a smart move for most buyers—especially first-timers—it can be waived in cash deals or competitive markets to strengthen your offer. 💡✨

An appraisal contingency protects a home buyer in case the appraised value is lower than the agreed-upon purchase price. Learn how an appraisal contingency works.
