Tips for first home buyers from Century 21 Gold.

Buying a first home can be confusing and long process, especially if you are looking to purchase in the competitive Auckland housing market.

“We can give you the direction you need to step on to the property ladder and to feel assured about the choices you are making,” says Derryn Mayne, Licensed Agent from Century 21 Real Estate Gold Manurewa.

Drawing on her years of experience in the industry, Derryn has some tips to help first-home buyers get on the ladder.

Be realistic with your budget:

One of the biggest factors that has been holding millennials back from becoming homeowners is the financing. Once you set it, stick to it. First-time home buyers are more likely to exceed their budget than repeat buyers.

Get a home inspection:

Get a trained professional inspect the property for the quality, safety and overall condition of your potential new home.

Prioritize Your Needs and Wants:

Create a checklist of your needs and wants. Don't forget to include things that aren't actually a part of the house, but important, such as the neighbourhood, commute, school system and even proximity to entertainment. Knowing what you really need can help narrow your home options.

Look beyond the staging:

When you are considering a house, mentally try to remove the staging. Pay more attention to the layout of the house and the structure itself. Ugly wallpaper and paint can be easily fixed later.

With the help of Century 21 Gold first homebuyers can have help to navigate the property market: “We have a range of properties to suit your needs whether you are looking for a rural or urban home or something more specific, we can help you find what you are looking for,” adds Derryn Mayne.
