With real estate prices falling, it is undoubtedly a great time to invest in a first time property. But, not everyone should invest in real estate and even in an advantageous market like this one it’s wise to use caution where caution is needed. It doesn’t matter how good the real estate market is for buyers as how stable and ready a buyer is to purchase a home. Listed below are some signals that a buyer is ready to purchase a home.

First of all, a sizable down payment is always a good sign. It allows the buyers to get a better deal on their home loan and puts them that much closer to owning a home. Next is a reliable source of income, this allows both buyers and their lenders the confidence to complete the home buying process. A decent amount of savings is also important as a first time buyer will almost certainly need it during the long process of paying off a home. Credit is important as well, because it will allow you to get a home loan with a fair interest rate. And finally, a long term commitment is important. Make sure you’re willing to stay in the same location for at least ten years as a general rule.
