Frequently Asked Questions
❓ What are the first steps to buying a home?
The first steps include checking your credit score, determining your budget, getting pre-approved for a mortgage, and partnering with a real estate agent who knows the local market.
❓ How much do I need for a down payment?
Down payment requirements vary. Many buyers put 3%–5% down with conventional loans, while FHA loans may require as little as 3.5%. A larger down payment can reduce your monthly payments and eliminate mortgage insurance.
❓ What is the difference between pre-qualification and pre-approval?
Pre-qualification is an estimate based on basic information you provide.
Pre-approval is more detailed and requires documentation — giving you a stronger position when making an offer.
❓ How long does the homebuying process take?
On average, the process takes 30–45 days once you’re under contract. The overall timeline can vary depending on the market, financing, inspections, and negotiations.
❓ Do I need a home inspection?
Yes! A home inspection helps identify potential issues before you finalize the purchase. It protects you financially and gives you leverage for repairs or price negotiations.
❓ What are closing costs?
Closing costs typically range from 2%–5% of the purchase price. These may include loan fees, title insurance, appraisal fees, and other required services.
❓ Should I buy a home or continue renting?
Buying may be the better long-term investment if you plan to stay in the home for at least 3–5 years. Renting offers flexibility, but mortgage payments build equity you can benefit from later.
