Buying a home is one of the most important decisions we make as a community. When you embark on the task of buying a home, it is essential that you are as prepared as possible. Being an informed buyer is one of the most important steps you should take before buying a home, as for most people it is the most expensive purchase we will ever make.

William Davis Realty wants to insure that you are as informed as possible, before making a commitment to purchase your home. As we want to not only see our home buyers happy, but we also want to see that you have made an educational decision during the home buying process.

So you may ask yourself, what are some of the most important steps before buying a home? First, you need to set and adhere to a strict budget. Being a home owner should be a blessing and not a strain. So set a budget of what you know you can afford each and every month.

Let your realtor know your intentions of buying a home, and what your price range is. Do not exceed your budget amount for any reasons, as this is a 30 year commitment you are about to make. Be sure not to get caught up with the temptation of buying a more expensive home, just because it has a better look than a cheaper one may have, as sellers go to great effort in staging homes so that they trigger that impulsive buyer that is within us all. So set your budget and stick to it.
