Essential Steps to Prepare Your Home to Sell

Buying your first home is a significant milestone—both exciting and a bit daunting. As you navigate the process, it’s important to be informed and prepared. Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you make the most of your first home-buying experience.

1. Assess Your Financial Readiness

Before diving into the search, take a close look at your finances. Evaluate your credit score, savings, and income stability. A healthy credit score and a solid savings cushion are crucial, as they impact your ability to secure a mortgage with favorable terms.

Tip: Aim for a credit score of 620 or higher and save at least 20% of the home’s price for a down payment to avoid private mortgage insurance (PMI).

2. Understand the Real Estate Market
