Buying a Home

How do you buy a home and how do you know when you are ready to do so? What matters more - your credit score or the amount of money you have saved up? Should you base any decisions on macroeconomic trends--for example, wait to buy in an overheated market? Anastasia and Bill discuss housing ratios to determine what you can afford, what contingencies are and what you might use them for, and how much you should leave in your bank account when all is said and done. Anastasia bought a house during the pandemic so breaks down the process for anyone wondering how she went about it. For questions and comments, you can email us at [email protected].
