Mistake Number 7.

Not Considering Future Needs.

Purchasing a home that meets your current needs without considering future plans can be limiting. Anticipating changes, such as family growth or remote work requirements, ensures the home remains suitable over time.

Mistake Number 4. Overlooking Contractual Rights and Obligations

Significant financial moves like financing a car or opening new credit lines can jeopardize your mortgage approval. Lenders reassess your financial status before closing; new debts can alter your creditworthiness. It's advisable to maintain financial stability until the home purchase is finalized.

Mistake Number 5.

Overlooking the Importance of Location!!!

Focusing solely on the property and neglecting the neighborhood can lead to dissatisfaction. Factors like school quality, safety, and proximity to work influence long-term happiness and property value. Researching and visiting neighborhoods at different times can provide a comprehensive understanding of the area.

"Homes newly listed on the MLS® in Metro Vancouver* rose 46 percent year-over-year in January, as sellers appear eager to enter the market to start the year.

If you don't mind,

your home search without securing mortgage pre-approval can lead to unrealistic expectations and missed opportunities. Pre-approval provides a clear understanding of your budget and demonstrates to sellers that you're a serious buyer.

Mistake Number 1. Based on my 15 years of experience at One Percent Realty LTD, the fundamental mistake for first-time buyers is starting to search for a home without a realtor.
