Although activity is picking up in our Big Lake and surrounding areas, there are still so many homes for buyers to choose from.  I’d like to encourage all who are tossing the thought around at all, to think seriously about making a purchase in today’s buyer’s market.  I especially want to encourage you first home buyers!

 In Big Lake, Mn.  There are currently 117 homes under $200,000 to choose from.  The pending sales number is increasing every week.  This past week 7 received accepted offers on homes under $200k.  That’s up from 6 the prior week.  So let’s not wait much longer.  Go shopping while the shopping is GOOD! 

As you step out to buy your first home, a lot is going to happen.  We want you to remember that you will be expertly guided through this process and, because of this, it will be easier than you think.  Here are the 8 steps of buying your first home:

1.  Decide to buy.

2.  Hire your agent.

3.  Secure your financing (your agent can help you choose a lender that you can trust)

4.  Find your home.

5.  Make an offer.

6.  Perform due diligence.

7.  Close.

8.  Protect your interest!

What an exciting time!  Join the excitement while the market continues to be more favorable to the buyer.
