Buying a house will be one of the most significant commitments you will ever make. 

Here are some tips if you are thinking of taking the plunge.

1- Do your research. Before making any decisions, determine the types of houses available in the area you want to live in and which ones match your budget.

2- Get pre-approved for a loan. Before you go out and buy a house, ensure you have pre-approval. This way, you know that you are approved for a loan and that the lender is comfortable lending you the money to buy a house.

3-Find an experienced Real Estate Agent. They will help you locate a neighborhood and the type of housing that will best fit your needs.

4-Once you find the perfect match, write an offer. Once the offer gets accepted, there are steps to proceed with the transaction. 

A- Do an Inspection, and make sure the roof, plumbing, and foundation are in good shape, as these items could be pretty expensive to fix.

B- Ask the seller to repair anything that is not currently working.

c- Close, move in and be happily ever after.

If you are thinking of buying, today is always the right time. Buy the house, date the rate. You can always refinance later on.
