Steps to Saving for a Down Payment - Breckenridge Real Estate

Ten Peaks Sotheby's International Realty - Luxury Homes — Wed, 18 Apr 2012 14:25:56 -0700

Steps to Saving for a Down Payment - Breckenridge Real Estate

Research has shown time and again one of the greatest hurdles to home buying is coming up with the sometimes dreaded – downpayment. Here are a few practical strategies to help you clear the hurdle and come up with the cash you need.

6 Steps to Saving for a Down Payment

1. Plan for progress.

Savings isn’t all dollars and cents. It’s a little emotional. To remind you why you’re in the savings game, it’s a good idea to find a few visuals – photos or a list of features of your dream home. When you’ve chosen your reminder, store it close to your budget, wallet, or in the place you pay bills to remind you of what you’re working for.

2. Slow your spending.

The biggest enemy of spending is the impulse to buy. When you’re tempted make a purchase over $25, wait 10 days to decide whether it’s something you really need.

3. Spend less for convenience.

Your mother was right, good things take time…and so do cheap things. From coffee on the go to lavish meals out, most consumers are paying quite a bit for convenience. Become friends with your kitchen to help your bottom line.

4. Drink more water.

According to the National Soft Drink Association, the average American household spends about $850 annually on sweetened drinks. In contrast, water costs just a penny per gallon. Make the switch to water and you’ll start your life as a homeowner not only richer, but a bit healthier too.

5. Tract expenses.

Experts agree, the orack expenses.nly thing more powerful than creating a budget is actually reading and tracking it. Schedule some time every week to review your spending habits and find new ways you can save.

6. Eliminate the excess spending.

Locate the excess in your budget and slash it. Trade the gym for home workouts, swap expensive movie nights for checking out free videos from the library, and keep an eye out at the end of each month for services you aren’t using.

Breckenridge real estate offers a wide variety of choices when it comes to finding the right property. Luxury homes, mountain cabins, town-homes, condos and acreage are available for home buyers looking to settle in this wonderful mountain town.

Ready to Buy? Breckenridge Real Estate

Ten Peaks Sotheby's International Realty - Luxury Homes — Tue, 10 Apr 2012 15:09:08 -0700

Ready to Buy? Breckenridge Real Estate

Now it is time for you to look deep into your heart (and bank account) and decide if you are ready to buy a home. Finding your motivation and specifying your wants and needs is a good beginning, but there are other things to consider before taking the leap into home ownership.

What's your financial situation?
What's your debt load? Credit cards, utilities, car payments, childcare and groceries are factors to consider. Don't forget the money for a broken air conditioning unit will be coming out of your pocket. Will you be able to handle unforeseen emergencies, monthly bills and a mortgage payment? As a rule of thumb, no more than 28 percent of your gross monthly income should be used for housing payments.

How's your credit history? Delinquent credit card and bank payments, past bankruptcies or a student loan that's unpaid can severely affect your ability to get a mortgage loan. For a small fee you can obtain a credit report on yourself and clear up any misunderstandings before applying for a loan.

Credit Unions:
Experian 1-888-EXPERIAN (397-3742)
Equifax 1-800-997-2493
Trans Union 1-216-779-2378

What's your employment history?
If you have been working continuously for the past two years, a lender should consider this to be steady employment. This does not mean that to be approved for a mortgage loan you need to have worked at the same place for two years; in fact, job changes can be favorable, especially for an increase in pay.

However, if your work history has not been continuous for the last two years, as long as you have a reasonable explanation for any breaks in employment, you still may qualify for a loan.

Have you saved money for a down payment and closing costs?
In addition to the amount of money you will have to borrow for your home, the lender will require you to invest, in cash, around five to twenty percent of the purchase price toward the loan. If you are looking at a $100,000 home, a ten percent down payment would be $10,000.

Closing costs are additional expenses incurred throughout the buying process that must be paid for in cash, like attorney and inspection fees, escrow charges and document fees. Closing costs are typically five percent of the purchase price of your home, so add another $5,000 to your $100,000 home.

Please contact any of the experienced real estate agents at Ten Peaks Sothebys International Realty to help you find the perfect mountain property!
