Buying a home for the first time can be both an exciting & overwhelming time. We asked Lucas Hammond his advice for first time home buyers looking to purchase t...his year, and here’s what he had to say: First thing I’d recommend is talking to your bank or a mortgage specialist to know what you’re approved for. Especially in this highly active market, being pre-approved will increase your buying power! Second thing is patience - In this market many experience buyers are making split-second decisions on properties in order to secure an accepted offer, and many places are going well above asking price. This could be extremely intimidating for a first time buyer on a limited budget. I believe Patience is the key and it may seem daunting at first. I would recommend taking your time and get out there viewing properties to really discover what suits your needs before pulling the trigger.
