Purchasing a home is an exciting experience, but it can also be an expensive one. But there are several ways that you can save money to help you prepare for this major purchase. We’ve put together a list of steps that you can take to help you save money during this process.

‍

1. Find an experienced “Village Premier Collection” Realtor‍

It is important to use an agent that is experienced in real estate and knows the area and market well. A well experienced agent will help you navigate the home-buying process and help you find ways to save money. 

2. Save for your down payment

If you are a first time home buyer, your down payment can range from 3.0% to 5.0%. The more money you can put down up front, will help you save more money in the long run. Besides lowering your monthly mortgage payment, a large down payment can also help you avoid PMI(Private Mortgage Insurance).‍

3. Improve your credit score before buying

As we have all heard, credit is everything especially when making a large purchase such as buying a house. Your credit score will directly affect your interest rate and lender fees that you will be required to pay. The higher your credit score, the better your interest rate will be.
