AffordabilityHomebuyers not only need to find a home that suits their lifestyle but also one that meets their financial objectives. While you may think sorting out costs before you start shopping for a home is like putting the cart before the horse, we can assure you that it isn’t. Understanding how much home ownership costs and figuring out what you can afford is paramount to home buying happiness.It is best to become pre-qualified for a mortgage before beginning to look for a home so that you have a true idea as to the price range you are looking for. There is nothing more disappointing then to find and fall in love with you dream home only to find out later that it's outside of the budget! Also take into account your taste in luxury materials and upgrades. Although the home price may be within the budget, adding upgrades and premium materials to the home will add additional costs quickly and can cause the home to go outside of your pre-approval amount. That is why we at Southbend strive to stay competitive by continuously checking out various suppliers so that we not only offer you the upgrades and features that you want, but also the quality that you want, so that your home will last for years to come. We work with various mortgage brokers to get the information that you desire like current rates and what kind of payments you will have. We do this to help ease the stress on our buyers.
