Buying Tips
Avoid Maxing Out Your Budget
Although you may qualify for a significant loan amount, it's prudent not to exhaust it entirely on the home's purchase price. Allocate a portion for closing costs, taxes, and potential home maintenance or renovations.
Familiarize Yourself with the Neighborhood
Ensure the area aligns with your needs—are schools nearby, and is shopping conveniently accessible?
Prioritize Home Inspections
Home inspections are invaluable, uncovering potential issues that might otherwise go unnoticed. This provides assurance and empowers you to make well-informed decisions regarding your purchase.
Obtain Pre-Approval
Securing pre-approval from a lender signals to the seller your seriousness and readiness to buy, distinguishing you from mere window shoppers.

Resources For Austin Home Buyers
The journey to homeownership starts by understanding how much you can afford. One major thing to consider is your down payment, if any. Many consumers believe it's impossible to buy a home without at least 20 percent down. But thanks to various government-sponsored programs, many people can now buy a house with as little as 3.5 percent toward a down payment. Veterans of the U.S. military have zero-down programs available.
