Know What You Can Afford
The first step is deciding how much you can afford to spend. There are two major factors involved when considering this.
1. How much do you have to invest in the down payment?
2. What can you afford to spend on a monthly mortgage payment?
Your builder representative or mortgage professional can assist you with the answer to these questions.
Plan Ahead
Buying a home is rewarding if you know what you want and need. In the beginning, consider everything you want in a new home: location, size, layout, & amenities. Then determine what your top priorities are, so you can be prepared to compromise if need be.
Select a Builder
Choosing the right builder is as important as choosing the right home style and location. Know what your looking for and ask to talk to the builder directly. It is essential that the builder has an excellent reputation and is accessible to answer any questions you may have in regard to quality and workmanship. This is much easier to achieve when working with a custom builder. Kirnan Real Estate is proud to represent two prominent custom builders. Both Martin Custom Homes and MTD Development Corp offer their own unique quality. They also offer the ability of building on-site, or the luxury of your choice in location.
