I’m Clare, and buying my first home had been a goal of mine for a long time. I know how overwhelming the process can feel when you don’t know where to start, so I’m sharing my journey and what I learned along the way to help make it a little less stressful for other first-time buyers.
The hard part was knowing where to start. There’s a lot to figure out, and it can feel overwhelming when you’re trying to make sense of it all for the first time.
Before you can figure out what you’re comfortable spending on a home, you need to understand where your money is going each month. Breaking down your expenses can make your budget and your next steps feel a lot clearer.
Before you start house hunting, it’s important to understand what you can actually afford. Speaking with a mortgage broker early can help you understand your financing options, what you may qualify for, and what your monthly payments could look like so you can start your home search with confidence.
When I was saving for my first home, I learned that choosing the right savings accounts could make a big difference. Between the FHSA, RRSP, and TFSA, there are different benefits worth understanding before you start putting money aside.
