As you’re well aware, 2018 is fast approaching. With that in mind, I want to talk to you about some proactive steps you can take if you’re thinking about buying in 2018.
1. Check your credit score. Know where you stand, that way you can go ahead and get out in front of anything that may be standing in your way. You’ll be prepared to purchase your home without the risk of any unpleasant shocks down the road.
2. Don’t open any new credit. This would go against your current credit score and possibly knock you out of contention, so wait until after the purchase to open up any new lines of credit.
3. Start interviewing agents. Look for someone who’s going to give you the best opportunities. That way, you’ll be ready for the process when the time comes and you’ll have the best agent possible to help you through it.
4. Start looking at interest rates. Rates are expected to go up a bit, so knowing where they are now and will be later will be a good step to take to make sure you’re getting the best rates you can.
5. Start interviewing mortgage professionals. Our team works with some great ones, and there many out there. Find one that will give you the best program based on your needs. It could be that you’ll qualify for no money down or lower rates.
These are just a few tips for getting ahead if you’re thinking about buying in 2018. If have any questions or would like to hear more about being proactive for next year’s market, give me a call or send an email. We’d love to help.
