1. Do Your Homework
Buying real estate is a big deal! This is a long-term investment and doing your research will allow you to make an informed decision. Drive around the different neighbourhoods you’re interested in. Find out what amenities (like shops, schools & transit) are in the area. Think ahead about how your life is going to look in the next 5-10 years and plan accordingly.
2. Mortgage Pre-Approval
Before you think about viewing properties, you need to set up a meeting with your local mortgage broker to get mortgage pre-approval and find out what price range you should be looking at. Now you’re able to sharpen the focus. Compare properties in your price range and you’ll start noticing homes that stand out. Create a shortlist of your favourite listings.
