  1. Being a first time home buyer in DC can be overwhelming especially when you are completely unaware of the real estate market and its trends! And making impulsive purchases can hurt your pocket and financial condition for a long term. Do you want that to happen to you? No one will ever want that. So to avoid any such circumstances what you need to do is go through a proper and planned process. Let’s get started with the steps of the process without any more delay! Be debt-free before buying your home – When you own a home, you have to take the responsibility of the maintenance and upkeep costs which can add up fast that you may think. And this can make owning a home an expensive affair! Therefore, make sure to pay off any debt you have and create an emergency fund that will be enough for your next three to six months expenses. This will help you in paying off any sudden huge expenses and you need not have to worry further. But that doesn’t mean that you will spend all your savings on furniture and home stores! Be wise with your budget to remain debt-free for life.

  2. Keep a check on your monthly budget – Before getting emotionally attached with your new house, do check your monthly budget and determine how much you can afford on the house. Remember there are other aspects of home buying except the furniture and décor! There are insurance, taxes and much more that affect your monthly housing costs. However, you must remember that property tax rates as well as the insurance costs of homeowners vary time to time, hence taking the help of an expert real estate agent and insurance company can be a great help in determining how much you can afford! Save for closing costs and down payment – Save at least for a down payment of 20% along with closing costs. This will help you in many ways that include you need not have to pay for private mortgage insurance, you will have money to bear the fees for appraisal, home inspection, credit report, insurance and other aspects of the home buying process. Get pre-approved loan – For first time home buyers in DC getting a pre-approved loan can help them in justifying their seriousness toward home buying in front of the sellers and hence stay ahead in the competitive real estate market in DC.

  3. Search a home for sale that suits your budget – When searching for homes make sure to look for the ones that suit you budget. Find homes that you like online and then send them to your real estate agent. This will enable your agent to understand the criteria of your home search. They will use the multiple listing service (MLS) for finding the homes that meet your preferences and budget.

Besides these you must attend a few open houses as it will allow you to understand the area in a better way.
