Homes for Sale in Payson AZ

So, you are in the market to buy a new home. Keep these 5 secrets in mind while you are preparing to make your home purchase.

#1 – Don’t Move Your Money Around – You want to keep your money where it is right now three to six months before you are planning on buying a home. You don’t want to make any other large purchases. Don’t open any new credit cards or make large ticket purchases because this can make it more difficult to qualify for a home loan.

#2 – Get Pre-Approved Now – It will save you time looking at only homes that you know you are pre-approved to purchase. Being pre-approved for a home loan means you have taken that extra step past just being pre-qualified and that a lender has actually looked thru all your information and determined how much money they will lend you for a home and how much house you can actually afford.

#3 – Get it Inspected – Once you have picked a home you are generally interested in, you will want to get it inspected by a home inspector. The home inspector will give you their opinion of any issues with the home that you can then ask the seller to fix prior to purchasing the home or use as leverage to lower the home’s selling price.

#4 – Check Out the “Hood” – Before buying a home in an unfamiliar neighborhood, it is wise to visit the neighborhood at varies times of the day. You may find out something that you don’t want to have to life with and it’s certainly better to find out before you buy your home.

#5 – Don’t Buy the Biggest – When buying a house you want to keep re-selling it in mind. And most people don’t want to buy the “biggest” house in the neighborhood. So neither should you. Homes only go up in value as the ones around it so it’s almost better to buy a low to medium desired house and make it better to get the best return on your investment.

For today’s home buyer, you will definitely want to keep these “buyer’s secrets” in mind while you are shopping for your new home. If you have any questions about homes for sale in Payson AZ , contact Rory Huff at 928-595-0136
