Recap:
Get your pre-approval first.
Sort the MLS on price, home size, lot size, and location
More thoughts:
Your pre-approval is only a starting point. Once you have an initial pre-approval letter you can and should shop around. With as fast as today’s market is moving, you must be prepared to make an offer within a day or two of seeing the house. To make an offer and be prepared to follow through you have to know that you can get the loan.
When sorting the MLS you need to use minimums and maximums. You can waste a lot of time and effort if you only use maximums. Finding the right homes to view is just as important as knowing what to look for when viewing. As I said before, this market is moving fast and you can’t afford to have time spent looking at homes that you won’t be interested in, just because you filtered your search results incorrectly.

That’s a nice fence, now get off of it! This is the market every home owner dreams about. You can sell your home, get into the home that will fit your family better for the next 5-10 years, and make money doing it. Investors are watching the stock market and slowing down on property investments because of fear. But home prices are still anticipated to rise for the next 5 years or more. You have recovered your losses from the crash of ’08 and then some. You have equity and you have great opportunities in the buyers market. There will not be a better time to make your move. So, as I said before, That’s a nice fence, now get off of it and call me.
