Income is one of several factors that go into determining if it’s a good time to buy a house. Take a holistic look at your financial health, including your budget and your own comfort level. A Numerica home loan adviser can walk you through some of these questions as part of a prequalification process.
There are online calculators that will offer you an answer to this question, but be careful. A lot of the time, you technically could afford more than your future self would say you should be spending.
At Numerica, we’re here to help you live well with your finances. To help you consider how much you want to spend on a home, review our Home Buying 101 guide or these home loan options.
They sound alike, but these 2 terms represent different steps in the home-buying process. Get prequalified at the beginning. This helps you estimate your budget and determine loans you may be eligible for. To get preapproved, you must complete a mortgage application, which includes a thorough review of your credit history and financial life to date. It’s helpful to have your preapproval when making an offer on a house.
From first-time programs to those backed by the VA, FHA, and USDA — a ton of information is out there. Self-education is important, but our team of Numerica advisers is here to fill in the gaps. We can answer your questions and help you determine if a special loan program is right for you. Reach out to a team member today.
