Stop going by headlines. Answer 5 honest questions based on your actual situation and you'll know exactly where you stand.
What's Inside
1Is it your reason — or someone else's?The one question most buyers never honestly answer before signing a 30-year commitment.
2Can you actually afford it?Not what the lender says. What the real number looks like with taxes, insurance, and repairs factored in.
3Do you have all the money?Closing costs, reserves, moving costs, setup. Most buyers get blindsided by this.
4Are you staying?If there's a real chance you're moving in 1-3 years, buying may not make financial sense.
5Do you know your local market?What's happening nationally is almost never what's happening in your neighborhood.
