BUYING FAQ'S
Whether you're a first-time buyer or a seasoned investor who needs a refresher on how transactions work, here are some answers to the most often asked questions.
The first step in the home-buying process is to meet with a real estate professional. As a REALTOR® and Accredited Buyer's Representative®, Suzanne will discuss your goals, review the home buying process, explore financing options, and recommend trusted local lenders for mortgage pre-approval. With your pre-approval letter, Suzanne will create a customized home buying plan tailored to your goals and timeline.
Buying a home takes roughly 10 to 12 weeks from start to finish (from searching online to closing escrow). The average time to close escrow on a home is 30 to 45 days after a home is chosen and an offer is accepted (under normal market conditions). However, cash-paying home purchasers who are well-prepared have been known to purchase properties much faster.
- Conventional Loans: Typically, you need at least 3-20% of the home's purchase price.
- FHA Loans: Require a minimum down payment of 3.5%.
- VA Loans: Often offer zero down payment options for eligible veterans.
- USDA Loans: Provide zero down payment options for homes in eligible rural areas.
It's not necessary to sell your current property before buying a new one, but it depends on your finances. If you need the equity or can't qualify for two mortgages, you may need to sell first. Bridge loans can help, and having your current home sold can make your offer more attractive in a competitive market.
It's entirely up to you! Home buying is, without a doubt, easier today than it has ever been. The opportunity to browse for homes online and view photos before leaving the comfort of your own home has dramatically transformed the home-buying process. Convenience has never been higher. But nothing beats seeing a house in person to get a sense of how it looks and feels.
A home seller typically responds to a buyer's offer within 24 hours, but this can vary based on the terms outlined in the buyer's contract, the seller's circumstances, and market conditions.
