For many of us, it feels like the world has been put on pause. While we all stay home, doing our part to slow the spread of Covid-19, many have also put their plans of homeownership on pause. The real estate market, though, is still open for business. Even if you have decided to wait, there are steps you can take to keep your dreams of owning a home alive and well.
Get Pre-Approved – Contact a lender to complete the early paperwork (all online) that will instantly make you a more qualified buyer when you are ready to look for a home in earnest.
Maintain Your Financial Health – Don’t let current circumstances ruin your credit. There are many resources available today, including the recently signed CARES Act, to help you through this crisis.
It's the start of a new decade in a new year, the very first Monday of 2020. It's time to get started on those New Year goals. Is home ownership on your list for 2020? Peggy Slappey Properties is here to help!
Identify Why You Want to Move.
Do you need more space? Less? Are you living with family and simply ready to move into your own home? Some people move because they want fewer neighbors, some because they like the security of having more neighbors nearby. Maybe you don't like the school district where you now live. Perhaps you need to be closer to a family member. Each element of why you want to move plays a big part in how your home search will begin, where you'll start looking, and how much you can expect to pay.
