I want to Buy a Home in Acton MA!

Congratulations! You've finally made the decision. After many months of looking online, comparing towns, comparing homes, comparing school systems, tax rates, commuter access, you have decided that Acton, MA is the town for you.  Now what?  Attending open houses is a great step to start to get the feel of the community.  Begin to understand the nuances of various neighborhoods, and areas within Acton.  Do you want to be near the train?  Do you want to avoid a busy road? There are so many things to think about.  OK.  So now you've been to 8 or 10 open houses.  Have you contacted a mortgage person to get pre-approved for a loan?  If you don't already have one, then it's time to find a Realtor to work on your behalf, to help you through the process of buying a home. A competent local Realtor will not only help you find the home you are wanting, but will help you understand the offer process, the inspection process, find a competent attorney, negotiate the best price and conditions, and all at no cost to you, the buyer.  

Some buyers are afraid to make that offer.. What if a lower priced home comes on the market next week?  It's time to make the decision.  You can't time the market.  Buying a home is not only about the money.  It's about getting settled. Having a place to really call home.  Belonging to the community you want to live in.  With the very real possibility of interest rates increasing, buyers have to understand that if interest rates go up 1%, that will decrease their buying power by 10%!!
So, yes, it's time to make Acton (or whatever town you choose) your home!  What a feeling of relief when you're all moved in!
