Here are a few pointers that would help homebuyers to get a good deal for their dream home amidst the current pandemic.
1. Ascertain the budget you can spare
Before you consider buying a house, the most crucial step is to determine the bulk of money you’d require to make the down payment. Most people prefer making a 20% down payment initially as it associates with great benefits, but that is not the only available choice.
According to a Zillow study, more than 50% of home purchasers prefer a 20% down payment. However, if you’re in a position to pay 20%, that would be ideal. It would contribute to low monthly payments, possibly low rates of interest, and no need for mortgage insurance.
Real Estate experts usually recommend maintaining the monthly installments at or below 30% of your household income. It’s necessary to ensure you’re not left with an unaffordable monthly installment in the future.

2. Look at a more comprehensive picture
Once you’ve figured out how much down payment you’re about to make, you now need to estimate various acquisition costs. First-time homebuyers are generally unaware of the transactional fees associated with buying real estate, such as the commission of the middle man.
It is vital to understand the process of acquiring a property before buying starts so that you have enough to pay for such costs and are not taken by shock later. It would be best if you conversed with your estate agent and money lender about the transactions you’ll need to undergo before hooking on the buying process. It would certify that you do not cross your fixed budget in the end.

3. Consider first-time buyer assistance and grants
There are numerous programs and offers for the new buyers offered by the federal state. A few private companies also offer great incentives for first-time homebuyers, which are undeniably attractive. Homie is one example of a private agency that refunds around $5,000 to the first time property buyer. There are various other similar options available for you to consider before you dip into your life long earned savings.
Buying a home for the first time might be a little tricky. All you need to do is keep your calculations realistic and seek assistance from an experienced real estate personnel or a close friend who has enough experience in this field.
