Recently, friends of my husband and I were in the market for a new home. Before they started to look they sat and decided on a area that they would like to live, shop and raise a family. Once they decided on the perfect location they contact a Realtor and started looking at homes. Although they were not certain on the type of home they were looking for, they eventually decided on a beautiful contemporary ranch that was suitable for their home needs and budget.

Of course, our friends have picked the best possible time to purchase a new home. It is a “buyer’s market” with low prices and high availability. They are first time homeowners and are, therefore, eligible for the $8,000 subsidy, which is part of the government’s stimulus package. Interest rates are the lowest they’ve been in many years and a variety of terms are available. Their timing for this purchase has been perfect.

Once a decision was made to purchase a specific home, our friends become very busy. They needed to shop for mortgage quotes to be certain that they were obtaining the best possible mortgage rates with the terms that they wanted. They found a large difference in the closing costs and number of points charged by different lenders, but finally settled on a local bank that offered them good rates and terms with lower closing costs and no points to be paid. They have a good credit rating so they were confident that they would be approved for their mortgage loan.

Before they could finalize their mortgage they were required to take out a homeowners insurance plan. This is the banks way to ensure that they will receive their money if anything should happen to your home, and the best way for our friends to secure their assets and investment. They shopped around and contacted numerous insurance providers until they finally found an affordable insurance plan that covered all they wanted to protect.

Once our friends had everything in place they set a closing date, contacted all the required utility companies to set up service and shopped for new furniture with the money they saved on the closing cost and the overall cost of the home. They moved in last week and could not be happier. It brings a smile to my face when I see how happy they are, as they took a depressing time in our countries economy and made a positive life changing decision for themselves.
