You’re ready to buy a home if you have a stable income, a good credit score, and enough savings for a down payment and other expenses. It’s also important to consider your long-term plans, like staying in one place for several years.

In addition to the down payment, you’ll need to budget for closing costs (1.5 – 2 % of the purchase price) which includes lawyer fees, property tax, and land transfer tax as well as home inspection fees, moving costs, homeowners insurance, and potential maintenance or repairs.

Credit scores range from 300 to 900. The higher your credit score, the more options lenders can offer in terms of mortgage products and interest rates. It’s best to connect with one of our specialists to understand your situation.
