Determine Your Wants and Needs
Buying a new home will be the biggest investment you’ll make in your lifetime. Before embarking on your journey of house hunting, find out know what you really want and need. List all the features you care most about, such as:
Cost & Financing
Know your budget for monthly downpayment and after that the amortization. Find out how much you can afford and what loan financing are available. Choose which to avail from the following payment scheme:
1. Bank Financing
2. Inhouse Financing
3. Full Downpayment
4. Deferred payment – No interest
5. Full Payment of Total Contract Price
Get sample computation and study. Ideally, mortgage payments should be not be higher than 36% of our total monthly income. This way, you can comfortably pay your mortgage and care for other household expenses.
Location & NeighborhoodLocation location location. This is a very important consideration when buying a property. It’s an important indicator of value. It should be accessible by public transportation in going to your place of work, near schools, mall or shopping center, supermarket, hospitals, church and airport.
Look for ongoing/future road development near the housing project as this will shorten travel time to your place of work and will also add to resale value of your property. Example is an upcoming MRT or LRT transport.
Do you like Cavite, or Laguna, or Las Pinas or Paranaque or Bulacan? Is the neighborhood safe and secure. And most important of all, is it flood free?
StyleAre you in a hurry to move-in so you need ready for occupancy houses? Or do you prefer houses that are not constructed yet (pre-selling) to save interest and have time to pay more.
Choose which house you prefer:
1. Townhouses
2. Single attached or single detached houses
3. Ready for Occupancy (RFO) houses
Future ExpansionHow many bedrooms, bathrooms, car garage and how much square meters of extra lot are you going to need? Look further into the future than just today. If you aren’t finished expanding your family and plan to someday have children or more children, you will want your new home to be large enough to accomodate that growth.
Great InvestmentMost homebuyers, especially first-timers, will eventually decide to sell and relocate to another home at some point. That is why it’s important to consider how well the home will hold its value over time. If an area is gaining popularity, it only implies that the road network is due for improvement and the property value is expected to increase in the future.
