You should get pre-approved for a mortgage before you start looking for a home. This will give you a better idea of what you can afford so you avoid falling in love with a property that is outside of your price range. This will also help give you a better idea of what your monthly payments may look like and what costs you will be paying when purchasing a home.
Many sellers in the Orlando area require that buyers submit a mortgage pre-approval letter with their offer. Some sellers even require it before viewing a home.
If you do not have a preferred mortgage broker, I can put you in contact with several of them so you can be pre-approved!
Almost all sellers expect buyers to put down a deposit. This shows that a buyer is serious about purchasing their home. The amount you put down is often a percentage of the purchase price and is usually not less than $5,000. However, some sellers may require a minimum deposit amount with an offer. So, the deposit ultimately depends on the situation and how much cash you are willing and able to put into a home.
Closing costs will vary depending on whether you are the buyer or seller. In Florida the seller pays for the title insurance, doc stamps on the deed and the commissions to the sellers and buyers’ agent. There could also be transaction fees to pay to the title company and brokerage. On a home sale of $500,000 the sellers’ costs are likely to be around $32,000. For buyers, most of the costs are loan costs, so if the buyer is paying cash, closing costs will be minimal, mostly prorations for tax and HOA and will probably not come to more than around $1,000. For buyers obtaining a mortgage the costs may be around 3 – 4 % of the purchase price. Your lender will be able to give you a much better idea of the closing costs because they will change depending on the type of loan.
Home inspections typically take place within the first 15 days of the purchase and sale contract being in place.
