| One of the keys to making the home buying
process easier and more understandable is
planning. In doing so, you'll be able to
anticipate requests from lenders, lawyers and a
host of other professionals. Furthermore,
planning will help you discover valuable
shortcuts in the home buying process. Do
You Know What You Want?
Whether you are a first-time homebuyer or
entering the marketplace as a repeat buyer, you
need to ask “Exactly what do I want to buy?” Do
I need three or four bedrooms? Do I need an
office or study? Is a formal dining room a must
have? Is a quality education important for my
children? Do I want city sewage instead of a
septic tank system ? Do I need a fenced back
yard? How soon do I need to move in?
Autumn Creek makes the answers to all of
these questions easy. One of our 8 different
floor plans will offer your exact needs in a
home.
Can I find the Money to buy the home?
Homes and financing are closely intertwined.
(Financing is the difference between the
purchase price and the down payment, commonly
referred to as debt or the mortgage.) The good
news is that over the years new and innovative
loan programs have evolved which require a 5
percent down payment or less. In fact, a number
of programs now allow purchasers to buy real
estate with nothing down.
In addition to a down payment, purchasers
also need cash for closing costs (the final
costs associated with closing the loan). Several
newly emerging loan programs not only allow the
purchase of a home with no money down, but also
to finance closing costs.
Not everyone, however, elects to purchase
with little or no money down. Less money down
means higher monthly mortgage payments, so many
homebuyers choose to buy with some cash up
front.
Don’t let the closing cost issue scare
you, the builders in Autumn Creek are paying up
to $4,300 of this cost to help you purchase your
home. |
