THE FIRST STEPS IN BUYING A HOME
Determining how much you can afford before you begin your home search is important in this competitive market
Prequalification vs. Preapproval
- Prequalifying for a mortgage generally helps you determine how much house you can afford and is strongly recommended
- Most lenders require that your monthly mortgage payment, including principal, interest taxes and insurance, range between 25 and 28 percent of your gross monthly income
- Becoming prequalified does not necessarily mean that you will be approved for a loan of that amount
- Preapproval from your lender means you have provided them with the necessary paperwork, and they have approved your actual loan amount
- Having preapproval for a home loan will put you in a much better negotiating position because the seller knows you are able to obtain a loan to purchase their home
Down Payment
- Most lenders require a 5 to 20 percent down payment; a 25 percent or higher down payment may qualify you for a lower interest rate
- We can help you locate lenders who will assist you in finding a financing package that best meets your needs
Financing
Before you start your home search, it is important to assess your financial situation and, when possible, get preapproval from a lender. We can refer you to numerous financial institutions that will help you review a plan fitting your needs.
The Purchase & Sale Agreement
Once you’ve found a house that fits your needs, we’ll compile the appropriate legal forms, contracts and addendums to make a solid offer on the property.
Negotiations
We’ll help you put together an attractive offer package taking into account the market value and condition of the home, your financing terms and earnest money.
Escrow
Once the offer is accepted and a closing date is agreed upon, we’ll assist in coordinating the completion of the purchase and submission of all necessary forms to your selected escrow company. We will monitor the escrow process until the transaction is complete
Loan Amount
The amount of mortgage based on the final purchase price of the home, minus the down payment.
Down Payment
Money that the buyer provides to the lender as their portion of the purchase price. This is considered the buyer’s equity, or cash investment, in their home.
Points
Fees charged by the lender to offset the interest rate if below the prevailing market rate. One point equals one percentage point. For example, one point on a $100,000 loan would be $1,000.
Appraisal Fee
The amount paid for the lender’s appraisal of a property.
Credit Report Fee
A fee charged by the lender to obtain a credit report on the buyer.
Title Insurance Fee
A one-time premium the buyer pays for protection against loss or damage in the event of an incorrect search of public records or misinterpretation of title. The title insurance policy also shows if the property is subject to taxes, liens, deed restrictions, encumbrances, or easements.
Escrow Fee
The amount the buyer pays to the escrow company or closing agent for preparing paperwork, accounting for all funds, and coordinating information between all parties involved in the sale of the property.
Closing Costs
A general term for all of the estimated charges and fees associated with the transfer of property ownership.
Prepaid Interest
The amount of interest due on the loan during the time period between escrow closing and the first mortgage payment. This is due at the time of closing.
PITI
An acronym for principal, interest, taxes, and insurance. This is the estimated monthly house payment.
Principal & Interest
Principal is the amount to be applied toward the balance of the loan; interest is the amount charged to finance the loan.
Total Cash Required
The amount of interest due on the loan during the time period between escrow closing and the first mortgage payment. This is due at the time of closing.
Premium Mortgage Insurance (PMI)
Insurance for the lender to cover potential losses if the borrower defaults on the loan.
