First Time Home Buyer Do and Don't List

Home Source Realty Group of MA understands that being a first time home buyer can be overwhelming and challenging. Some key things to keep in mind when buying your first home in Massachusetts are:

  • Expect to use something other than your tax refund or savings toward your new home.
  • Use a fixed rate mortgage for your first mortgage.
  • Use a mortgage program with a monthly payment schedule, not bi-weekly or any other plans.
  • Plan to own your home for at least 5 years or don’t buy it.
  • Realize that your costs will go up.
  • Choose a realistic budget and expense plan, remember to plan for unexpected expenses, and leave yourself enough money to have good quality and enjoyment of life every month.
  • Buy with a spouse only, not a partner or boyfriend or girlfriend.
  • Remember that you do not necessarily need to put 20% down.
  • Opt for the 30 year fixed rate mortgage.
  • Hire a good experienced attorney.
  • Explore your options thoroughly and gather as much educational information as possible before making a decision of any kind.

Home Source Realty Group of MA also offers free legal services included in our discount brokerage services to you, and we can get you pre-approved for your mortgage as well, saving you valuable time and effort in your process.
