Faqs
Frequently Asked Questions
How much money do I need to buy a home?
Most buyers need 3 to 20 percent of the purchase price for the down payment. Closing costs usually add 2 to 5 percent. Example. A $300,000 home may require $15,000 to $60,000 down plus $6,000 to $15,000 in closing costs.
Do I need to get pre-approved before viewing homes?
Yes. Pre-approval shows sellers you are serious and financially ready. It also sets a clear budget so you do not waste time on homes outside your price range. Pre-approval usually lasts 60 to 90 days.
How long does the home buying process take?
On average, 30 to 45 days from accepted offer to closing. This includes inspections, appraisal, loan approval, and final paperwork. Delays can happen if documents are missing or repairs are negotiated.
Is it better to rent or buy?
It depends on your timeline and finances. Buying often makes sense if you plan to stay at least 3 to 5 years and want stable monthly payments. Renting may work better if you expect to move soon or need flexibility.
