Are you a first time home buyer in NOCO?

The landscape has changed dramatically over the last 12 months for first time home buyers and those with a low down payment. Generally speaking, they can no longer expect to be able to get an on-market property under contract in Northern Colorado. There is simply too much competition and too many buyers with big down payments that can waive their appraisal contingency.

But that doesn’t mean they can’t buy homes, they just need an outside of the box approach. Our new podcast episode explores that approach.

This is a must listen for new buyers in Northern Colorado and across the country.

Links to County GIS maps are a great tool to have saved in your phone as you’re shopping for homes, especially acreage property.

From the first step of using a mortgage calculator to actually beginning to look for a lender, home buyers don’t always know the right steps to take. The most common mistake I see buyers when shopping for a mortgage is getting quotes from a few different lenders over a period of days, weeks or even months. Since rates change daily, the only way to compare lenders on an even playing field is to get quotes from two or more banks on the same day. This will ensure an apples to apples comparison of fees. And don’t worry about getting your credit pulled more than once, your FiCO score considers all inquiries pulled within 45 days to be one single inquiry.
