BUYER TIPS & ARTICLES CALGARY

REAL ESTATE PROFESSIONALS

Here are some home buying tips to help make your experience smoother and more successful:

1. Determine Your Budget

  • Know your limits: Before you start looking for homes, get a good sense of how much you can afford. Factor in your income, savings, monthly expenses, and other financial commitments.

GET PRE-APPROVED BEFORE YOU START 

Get pre-approved for a mortgage: This will give you a clear idea of how much a lender is willing to loan you and can make you a more attractive buyer when you're making offers.

2. Save for a Down Payment

  • The Down Payment is a major upfront cost, usually around 5-20% of the home’s purchase price. The more you can save, the better, as it can help lower your monthly payments and avoid private mortgage insurance (PMI).

3. Research the Market

  • Know the area: Research the neighbourhoods you're interested in to learn about local amenities, schools, crime rates, and future developments.

  • Understand market conditions: Is it a buyer’s or seller’s market? A buyer’s market means more negotiating power, while a seller’s market may result in higher prices and more competition.

4. List Your Priorities

  • What do you need vs. what do you want?: Make a list of essential features (e.g., number of bedrooms, bathrooms, proximity to work/school) and nice-to-haves (e.g., a pool, home office, larger yard).

  • Future plans: Think about how long you plan to stay in the home and how your needs might change. If you’re planning on expanding your family or working from home, consider those factors.

5. Work with a Real Estate Professional

  • Find a good agent: An experienced real estate agent can help you navigate the buying process, negotiate prices, and avoid common pitfalls. They’ll also know the local market and can provide valuable insights into neighbourhoods, property values, and more.

6. Get a Home Inspection

  • Don’t skip the inspection: Even if the home looks perfect, a professional inspection can uncover hidden issues (e.g., foundation problems, plumbing issues, or faulty wiring). This can save you money in the long run and give you room to negotiate repairs or a price reduction.

7. Understand Closing Costs

  • Plan for extra costs: Closing costs can include title insurance, home inspections, appraisals, and legal fees, and they usually amount to 2-5% of the home’s purchase price. Make sure you have enough funds set aside for these costs.

8. Negotiate the Price

  • Don’t settle on the first offer: It’s common to negotiate the home price, especially in a buyer’s market. Your agent will help guide you on how much to offer based on comparable home sales in the area.

  • Consider contingencies: Include contingencies like financing or inspection clauses to protect yourself in case there are issues that prevent the sale from going through.

UNDERSTANDING THE FULL COST OF OWNERSHIP

9. Cost of Ownership

  • Ongoing expenses: In addition to your mortgage, you’ll have regular costs like property taxes, homeowners insurance, maintenance, and utilities. Factor these into your monthly budget to make sure you can comfortably afford the home.

  • Renovations and repairs: Be prepared for the occasional repair or home improvement project. Even new homes may need some adjustments or updates.

10. Don’t Rush the Process

  • Take your time: It’s easy to get excited and make a quick decision, but buying a home is a big commitment. Make sure you’re thoroughly researching each property and don’t feel pressured into buying too quickly.

11. Consider Future Resale Value

  • Think long-term: Even if you're planning to stay in the home for a while, consider its future resale value. Look for features that tend to hold value, such as a great location, good school district, or desirable amenities.

MAKE SURE YOU ARE ORGANISED!

12. Stay on Track

  • Keep track of the paperwork: Home buying involves a lot of paperwork. Stay organised and keep copies of all contracts, appraisals, inspections, and legal documents.

  • Stay on top of deadlines: Keep track of important dates like when your financing needs to be finalised or when the home inspection is scheduled.

DON'T BE AFRAID TO ASK QUESTIONS

During the process of buying a home, you will have countless questions. We know how difficult it can be to sift through all the details in order to find answers relevant and meaningful to you.

    The Bragg Creek Trifecta: many properties have one of these three coveted things, but very few have it all! First, a beautiful home. Redesigned by award winning, internationally acclaimed designer, John Haddon, the 3968 sq. ft. of living space was taken down to the studs and rebuilt, inside and out, with the finest materials and craftsmanship. Second, incredible views of the mountains and forest. Given the seclusion and privacy, not a single curtain on any of the 55 windows impedes the breathtaking views afforded from every room. The third and most rare attribute of all, the thing that makes this “the hat trick”, is direct access to Kananaskis Country! That’s right, there is a private gate that connects to one of the most famous, beautiful, backcountry areas in Alberta, where you can hike or bike or ride for days. This home, sitting on 23 acres, is part of a small exclusive development of properties which span a ridge and directly border K-Country - the biggest backyard of all! Entering the home, the first thing you notice is the airy interior space, with cathedral ceilings and huge windows. The slate foyer gives way to Brazilian cherry hardwood floors, flowing throughout the balance of the home. Resisting the urge to immediately rush to the windows and deck system, to the left is the dining room and kitchen with quartz countertops and high-end appliances. Further on are two high-ceiling bedrooms, each with their own access to the wrap-around deck and connected by a large Jack and Jill 5-piece en suite. The upstairs is entirely devoted to the primary suite, which is unparalleled, with the huge windows and private deck all giving a new perspective to the vistas beyond. The 6-piece bathroom and walk-in closet complete this lofty sanctuary. The walk out lower level features a bar, exercise room, office area, expansive rec room with gas fireplace, 3-piece bath, and French doors to the walk-out patio and huge deck beyond. The property is completed by an insulated and drywalled triple car garage. You’re intrigued, I can tell, and further investigation is needed. Explore using our streaming video and 3-D tour; and then take the next step and make the Trifecta your own. More details
