Purchasing your first home is a big step that brings major responsibilities. If you’re planning on purchasing your first home in 2015 now is the ideal time to start working toward your home buying goal.

There are many things to consider when you’re planning to buy your first home. It’s important to get your financial resources in order to know what you can afford and also what you’re qualified to purchase. Now is the time to lower your debts and avoid making big purchases that can impact your credit score and debt-to-income ratio. It’s also good to account for the hidden costs of home ownership. Though you may not have to worry about these as a renter you will as a buyer. Hidden costs can include closing costs, home owner’s insurance, home maintenance fees, property taxes, realtor fees and utilities.

Narrow down your target area. Will you have kids going to school or that will attend school in the future? The quality of your local schools is just as important as the ideal location. Consider the safety of the neighborhood and also access to public parks, your job, church, the city and other points of interest. Enlisting the help of a real estate professional who is familiar with the area you’re trying to buy can help you find a new home what is within your budget. Select one based off of their credentials and not because they are a friend of family member.

Plan to purchase your first home with the future in mind. Are you planning to get married and would you like to start a family? Will you have children going off to school or returning to the house after college? Do you have to accommodate for your parents or in-laws in the future?
