A house is a dream that many young people have. This is the place that they envision their children growing up in and the place where they will grow old. As afirst-time buyers start out, there are certain obstacles that must be overcome in order to get the house of their dreams.  One of the biggest problems for them when they purchase their first Bothell home is financing their property and knowing the real costs connected to owning a home.  Being knowledgeable in both these areas will help any buyer make a smarter decision when buying a Bothell home.

 

There are a lot of different types of mortgage options out there, and picking the wrong one can spell financial disaster for many first-time buyers.  You need to know that paying a lower up-front cost now does not mean that you will not pay for it in the end.  So be sure to take your time, and discuss all of your options with a loan officer.  This way you can make sure you are getting the best deal for the long run.

 

The other issue that first-time buyers must overcome when buying a Bothell home is really coming to terms with the real costs connected to home ownership. Most first-time buyers starting out have only lived in an apartment.  As a result, when they buy their first home, very few think of the additional costs connected.  In most apartments the cost of maintenance and things like plumbing, waste management, and extermination is all included at no cost to the renter.  These are the things that can cost a homeowner thousands of dollars.  Also, since the space in an apartment is smaller, utility costs are often much cheaper than those in a home.

 

On top of this, there is the cost for homeowners insurance and property taxes. First-time buyers must be aware of these costs, and be prepared to allow them their rightful place in their monthly budget when buying a Bothell home.

 

By doing a little homework and a little planning you can be sure that you will be able to enjoy your new home for years to come. For more information about buying a home in the Bothell area contact Adrian Willanger at Coldwell Banker Danforth and Associates.
