How to Choose a Home to Buy

Cartoon_house
If you’re ready to start looking for your dream home, and you’ve narrowed your search to a few select neighborhoods, take these following tips to heart:


1. Types of homes. Choose the type of home that is the most appealing yet practical for you. In addition to single family homes, there are multifamily homes, condominiums and co-ops. Multi-family homes are often good for first time home buying because they can have rental income to help with their mortgage.

2. Budget and investment considerations. Find a balance between your needs, wants and budget. Decide whether you should buy a newly  constructed home, a bit older home or a “fixer-upper”. If you may sell your home in the future, the following are best for re-sell value:

Homes with 3 or more bedrooms; condos with 2 or more
Homes with “curb appeal” always sell best
Homes that are NOT unusual or unique and not the most expensive on the block

3. While house-hunting you will probably look at many homes for sale, so keep careful and complete notes and compare.

4. When you finally find your dream home, don’t hesitate! If you snooze, you may lose!

Utah Foreclosure Prevention Task force - Helping Utahans with questions

Media_httputahforeclo_bfefb

The Utah Foreclosure Prevention Taskforce has combined efforts with the Governor's Office to provide important and timely information about foreclosure to Utah Homeowners. Too many Utahns have found themselves facing foreclosure without knowing where to turn for help. While some homeowners fall prey to unscrupulous foreclosure rescue scammers, others are paying high fees for help that can be obtained FREE. This website is designed to provide resources and information to homeowners in distress.

Time is absolutely of the essence. By taking action now, you have a better chance of preventing foreclosure and keeping your home. All of the options to avoid foreclosure require work and time. It is critical that you do not wait and that you seek help now.

If you are having trouble working with your mortgage servicer, contact a HUD-approved housing counseling agency immediately and arrange an appointment to speak with a certified foreclosure intervention counselor. They will work with you to go over your documents, evaluate your situation, examine your budget, explore foreclosure alternatives, and contact your servicer to negotiate a work-out option.

Dial 2-1-1 to receive a free foreclosure workbook and list of nonprofit housing counselors, or browse this website for a free workbook download, list of counselors, and helpful tips for homeowners.

There is hope for homeowners in distress—it's just a phone call away.
