Are you thinking of buying your first home in Eagan? Many people who are renting today are realizing that the recent increase in rent payments is making Eagan more reasonable than ever before. With the combination of low mortgage rates and lower property values monthly payments on a home of your own in Eagan may be cheaper than what you are paying for rent! If you are a MN first time buyer I would love the opportunity to talk with you about the possibilities.

To take advantage of the benefits in today's Eagan home values, get started with these 3 steps.

Step 1: Let's Discuss Your Goals

There are more things to consider when buying a home than simply the monthly mortgage payment. I will want to talk with you about what your short and long term goals are for buying a house. After learning 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 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 start looking at listings, you need to get preapproved. The only way to know what you will be able to afford for monthly payments as well as down payments, you will need to get preapproved for mortgage financing. When you have a discussion with your mortgage broker, 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 your down payment? The only way to determine your eligibility is to get preapproved for a mortgage loan.

Step 3: Let's Start Looking At Houses

Once you have been preapproved we can start looking at property listings. 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.

City of Eagan Info

If you are thinking about a move to the southern metropolitan area you should really check out Eagan Real EstateCITY. With convenient access to the Twin Cities, the City of Eagan has grown rapidly over the years. As recently as fifty years ago the community had only about 3,000 residents, but now has over 64,000 according to the 2010 census. This means, of course, that most of the housing stock is in newer, well-planned communities. Because Eagan, MN is located in Dakota County, qualifying first time buyers will want to ask me about the Dakota County First Time Buyers program.
