Real Estate

Buying a home is one of the biggest decisions people face during their lives.

Once you have made the decision to purchase a home, there are some important things that you need to consider:

• What you can afford – Purchasing a home involves both one-time costs (including your down payment) and monthly expenses (including mortgage payments, legal fees, taxes and insurance).
• The market conditions – The real estate market is always changing and understanding the market will help you understand your position as a buyer.

Once you have made the decision to sell your home, there are some important things that you need to consider with the help of your representative:

• The market conditions – The real estate market  is always changing and it is important to understand how the current conditions will affect your position as a seller.
• What the market value of your home is – This is influenced by market conditions, location, size, style, condition, amenities and financing options.
• What a realistic selling price would be – Homes that are priced right sell faster and can generate higher, competing offers.
