LET'S TALK

First Time Home Buyers in Winnipeg

Find the perfect place to live.


Buying your first home can be one of the most intimidating experiences of your life, but you don’t have to let it scare you if you’re equipped with all of the tools that you need to make the right decision. When picking out your first house, or any house, for that matter, you’ll want it to be absolutely perfect.


Even if there is a slight, nagging feeling that you won’t like the house in the back of your head, then that feeling can fester and worsen over time, eventually becoming full-on buyer’s remorse. The last thing that you want to be is remorseful when you’re buying a house, so first off, make sure that you love the place that you’re looking at.


If you’re sure that you like a place, then take the time to determine how much you can expect it to cost you by looking at the details of the mortgage more closely. A lot of Winnipeg home buyers make the mistake of focusing too much on the house itself and not the legal agreement that allows them to purchase it.


A mortgage is one of the most intimidating parts of buying a home for the first time, and even if you have a firm grip of what to expect from one, it’s still scary to put your home up on the line. That being said, you can do what you need to optimize your mortgage rate so that the transition into your new home is as smooth as possible for you.









Talk to a Professional


Our first recommendation is to discuss your new home purchase with a mortgage professional that can tell you about the ins and outs of finding one with a preferable rate. As much as you may know about mortgage, people who have been working in the industry for decades know tricks that are only learned through experience.


We can help you go over the lesser known details of the mortgage that may have a bigger effect on your overall rate than you anticipated. However, we can even do something as simple as going over two different mortgages and determining which of them will be more preferable in the long run.


This also means that you’ll learn valuable tips that you can use later on if you ever want to upgrade your home and find a new mortgage. Working with a professional to decide on your first mortgage is the best way to do it, and it can help prevent you from making any beginner’s mistakes.


We work with a wide range of lenders to help you decide whether or not a home is the right choice for you. Since we have access to so many institutions, we can go over a wide range of mortgage loans to ensure that you get the best one available.


Budgeting and Pre-Approvals


Before you even start looking for a house, you’ll have to decide how much money you’re going to be willing to spend on it and over how long of a period you’re willing to invest that money. When you’ve figured out your budget, then it will be a lot easier for you to focus on the houses that are within your price range.


This can save you crucial time looking at homes that are pretty but that you would never otherwise consider due to their price point. Once you have everything in order, you can also take the time to get the wheels rolling on a mortgage pre-approval.


If you want to save time when you’re looking for a mortgage and be sure that the terms of your arrangement won’t change, you can sign a pre-approval to lock in the terms of the loan. On the other hand, if you have a mortgage without a pre-approval, we can take the time to make the estimates for you.
