How to buy a home in another state

Do you want to move from out of state in favor of the warmer weather in Tucson Arizona?

If you answered “yes” to the above question, then you are in luck. Right now is one of the best times to move to the area. Anyone can tell you about the warm weather, and other well-known perks of moving to Arizona from out of state,  here are some of the reasons that you may not be aware of.

Down payment Assistance

There are many down payment assistance programs available in the Tucson area, these programs will help you overcome the obstacle of not having the cash to put down on a purchase of a home. With the help of goggle, you will be able to find these programs, and see which you may qualify for.

Record Low interest Rates

Interest rates on home mortgages are at historical lows. That means the only place to go is up. Don’t put off buying a home until next year. Buying now could save you thousands of dollars on a 30 year mortgage.

Rising home values

Median sales prices are at the highest point in years. Getting in a home now will save you thousands. The grass is greener in Arizona. If you are in a state that is freezing, get out now and thaw out in your new home in Arizona, and drink some tea while your home appreciates in value, and watch everyone else get caught up in the buying frenzy that possibly could be around the corner.

How to buy a home in Tucson, Arizona- Step 1

 

So you have been pondering on becoming a home owner in Tucson Arizona, but you have no idea how the process works! Well, that is not a bad thing, you just have to know where to get the right information.

The RIGHT information will get you out from under paying rent to a landlord every month.

The RIGHT knowledge, and taking small steps will give you the pride of walking into your own home for the first time,

And that is exactly why I started writing the Tucson Homebuyer Help blog. I remember what it was like to want in to my brand new house for the first time, and I want to help as many people as possible have that experience as well.

Get educated-

The first step in any endeavor should be to educate yourself on what you are going to experience, and buying a home is no different. Some of the basic questions to have an answer for are:

  1. What is my credit score?
  2. How will a real estate agent help me?
  3. What is a mortgage broker?
  4. What can I expect during the home buying process?
  5. Am I in a buyers, or sellers’ market?
  6. What is my budget for a home purchase?
  7. What can I reasonably afford?
  8. How can I get pre-approved to buy a home?

While this is not an exhaustive list, it gives you a basic idea of where to start learning. Many individuals go into the process thinking it will be similar to buying a car. This could not be further from the truth. The home buying process can become long, and stressful, but has great rewards at the end, and many of the above questions can be answered by professionals within the real estate field.

Thank you for taking the time to read this post, I intentionally try to keep them as sort, and as simple as possible, while giving you advice that you can take action on now.

Never put things off until later….12 months will fly by fast, and you will still be paying rent to the landlord.

Start now, and take small steps to becoming a home owner in Tucson Arizona.

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to reach out to me at 520-338-9319, or send a message to the Tucson Homebuyer Help facebook page I have been in the real estate industry since 2007, and have built relationships with honest, and helpful real estate agents, property inspectors, title agencies, credit repair experts, among many others, that will be able to help you become a home owner no matter what the obstacle you may think is in your way.
