There is a lot to look out for when buying a home. Here are three common mistakes for first-time homebuyers: 1) Not leaving enough money for closing costs. Many focus on saving enough for a down payment when purchasing a home but there are other costs such as property transfer taxes, lawyer fees, home inspections, and adjustment fees. 2) Not getting pre-approved before starting the home search. A pre-approval will help allow a smooth transaction once an offer has been made.... 3) Not getting a home inspection. Spending a few hundred dollars on a home inspection to find defects can potentially save thousands in the long run.
