Questions to ask before you buy
Before you start touring homes, take time to think through what you need. These questions help you set a realistic plan.
About your plans
- How long do you expect to stay in the home?
- What would make a home feel right for your household?
- Do you need to be near work, school, or family?
About your budget
- What monthly costs will you have beyond the home payment, such as utilities, insurance, and maintenance?
- How much will you keep in savings after closing?
- What repairs or updates might the home need in the first few years?
About your timeline
- When do you need to move, and how much flexibility do you have?
- What would you do if a purchase fell through?
