Many people who are renting today are realizing that the recent increase in rents is making Woodbury Real Estate more attractive than ever. With the combination of low mortgage rates and lower property values monthly payments on a home in Woodbury may even be less expensive than what you are paying for rent! If you are a MN first time buyer I would definitely enjoy talking with you about these possibilities.

In order for you to take advantage of the great market values in today's market, there are 3 steps to get started.

Step 1: Call Me To Discuss Your Goals

There are more things to consider when buying a home than simply the monthly mortgage payment. I will want to have a discussion with you what your short and long term goals are for buying a house. After I learn more about what you want to achieve we will talk about the types of homes for sale, ideal locations, as well as how to get a great value. Depending upon when you want the move to happen we will discuss the benefits of buying your home from a traditional seller versus a short sale. After this discussion I will set up an automated home search of all the listings that could meet your needs.

Step 2: Get Preapproved For A Mortgage

Before we go out looking for houses, you need to talk with a mortgage lender. The only way to know how much you can afford for monthly payments as well as down payments, you will need to get preapproved through a lender for mortgage financing. When you talk with your mortgage banker, you will learn about all of the programs available for MN first time home buyers. Did you know that there are down payment assistance programs for that can help you with as much as $8,500 for down payment? The only way to determine your eligibility is to get preapproved for a loan.

Step 3: Let's Look At Homes Step 3: Let's Look At Homes

Once you have been preapproved for a loan we can start looking at homes. After looking at so many homes on the internet, this is the fun part of the whole process. We will look at as many homes as it takes before you find the one that ideally suits your needs.
