Top 3 Questions I Get from Buyers in 2024
Thinking about buying a home in 2024? Here are the top three questions I get from buyers—and the answers you need to know!
- Can I Go and Look at the House?
Before you start touring homes, it’s crucial to be prepared. I always ask potential buyers two key questions: Are you pre-approved for a mortgage? Are you working with another realtor? If you don’t know the answers to these questions, you might not be ready to start looking at homes just yet.
Starting in August 2024, buyers will be required to sign a buyer’s agreement with a realtor before viewing any properties. Getting pre-approved before house hunting is a professional courtesy that helps you understand how much home you can afford and shows sellers that you’re a serious buyer.
2. How Do I Get Financing?
Securing financing is a crucial step in the home-buying process. I always suggest talking to a great local lender. They can guide you through the mortgage options available and help you find the best fit for your financial situation. A good lender will explain the various loan types and help you get pre-approved, setting you up for a smoother buying experience.
3. How Many Houses Will I Need to Look at Before Finding the Right One?
This varies for each buyer, but on average, a buyer can find their ideal home after looking at 5-8 houses. Everyone’s journey is different, and while some may find “the one” quickly, others might take a bit more time. The key is to remain patient and keep an open mind during the process.
