How and When to Buy Your First Home

Helping the first time buyer is such a privilege for those of us in the real estate business. There is so much excitement when you finally get the approval to move into your very first home. Next week we will have the privilege to close on a 5 bedroom, 3 bath, and 2400 square foot home in Layton for $175,000. The Seller is paying the buyer’s closing costs. Buyer’s can find bargains everywhere right now.

I have said it many times before, but now is the time for buyers to jump in the market before the up-turn takes place and price start to climb again.
We know there are a lot of questions that buyer’s have with current market conditions so we would invite you to join one of our monthly Buyer Webinars where you can ask questions of mortgage lenders, title companies, and our team of Realtors. Our next free Webinar is scheduled for December 2, 2008 at 7:00 PM. and you can join from the comfort of your own home, using your own computer and telephone, to view and listen to our PowerPoint presentation. Bring all your questions and concerns!

How Much Can I Afford?
What Government Program Can I Qualify For?
How can I get the Seller to pay for my closing costs?
Can I qualify for any Grant Program
