Amherst NH Homes for Sale - First-time Home Buyer Guide

Amherst New Hampshire Homes for Sale - First-Time Buyer Affordable Homes

pictureBuying a home may be the most important investment an individual or family makes in their lifetime. It is important to understand the process and to be aware of the industry professionals who can assist you. The two primary resources will be Realtors and mortgage lenders. You must understand how much you can afford and what your budget will allow. If you are a first-time home buyer, you may qualify for a tax credit ($8000 in 2009) and could be eligible for special financing programs. To take advantage of this program, you must close on the property you purchase by December 1, 2009.

Mortgage Financing - A Loan for Your Home

Most home buyers borrow the money to purchase property by obtaining a mortgage through a lender. The lender may be a bank, mortgage banker, credit union or a private investor. The most common types of loans are conventional and government insured (FHA and VA). USDA offers 100% financing in qualified communities. It is advisable to obtain a "credit approval" from a lender prior to actively looking at property so that you understand the price range you can afford.

The Real Estate Agent's Role in the Process

As a consumer in the New Hampshire home buying process, you have options for representation. As a New Hampshire home buyer, you may hire a buyer's agent or work through a facilitator. A buyer agent is a licensee who acts on behalf of a buyer or tenant in the purchase, exchange, rental, or lease of real estate. A facilitator is an individual licensee who assists one or more parties during all or a portion of a real estate transaction without being an agent or advocate for the interests of any party to such transaction.
