How To Buy A Home
Spring is now upon us, and according to one estimate, about 40 percent of home sales happen between April and July, making spring a popular time to buy.

› Dale Barron, President
Ocala/Marion County Association of Realtors
t’s important to be prepared. Know what you want, what you’re willing to trade off and how much you can spend. Be ready to move quickly when you find the home you want. Set your budget for buying a home. First, decide how much house you can afford. Besides monthly mortgage payments, you must have enough money for a down payment, closing costs, moving and the initial expenses of living in the home. The Mortgage Bankers Association recommends that buyers spend no more than 2.5 times their income on a home. Total housing payments should not exceed 28 percent of your gross income, and total debt payments should be less than 36 percent. Determine your home wants and needs. Before setting out on your search for a home, determine your needs. Make a list of what you absolutely must have and what you would be willing to forgo. Research the neighborhoods that interest you. Check out the schools, the local services and the public facilities and speak to people on the street to get a feel for the area. Choose a Realtor®. Not all licensed real estate agents are REALTORS®, and the difference is meaningful. After receiving
a real estate license, most agents go on to join their local board or association of REALTORS® and the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS®, the world’s largest professional trade association. They can then call themselves REALTORS®. Realtors® know the prices of recently sold properties, and many have a good handle on what a house is worth. A buyer’s agent will represent your interests and help you find homes that fit your budget and list of requirements. They will also help you get the best deal. Feel free to take a look at our member directory of OMCAR Realtors® on omcar.com. Get mortgage loan pre-approval. Speak with several mortgage lenders, online and off, and choose the best rate and the most appropriate terms for your budget. The low rates that are available may not last indefinitely, so see if you can lock in all or part of the loan. Many lenders offer various plans for your monthly payments. With a mortgage loan preapproval in hand, you’ll be ready to act quickly when you find a home you want to make an offer on. For more information, contact a local REALTOR® today.

Spring is a great time to buy a home because buyers can move in better weather and get kids settled before the school year begins. However, those advantages also mean that spring can be a competitive time to house-hunt.
