6 House Hunting Tips for New Buyers

These house-hunting tips will ensure your home purchasing process runs smoothly, from finding the ideal for-sale Lake Havasu City property to signing the contract and moving into your dream home.

Get Mortgage Pre-Approval

Whether searching for a single-family home, multi-family home, condo, townhouse, or something else, getting a pre-approved mortgage is an excellent first step. This step allows you to cement your budget for home buying, so you’re not left wondering if you can afford your ideal home or how much the banks will loan you. As a bonus, having a pre-approved mortgage lets sellers know you’re a serious buyer.

Decide on Your Top Locations

After being pre-approved, I suggest taking a look at the different communities and neighborhoods throughout the city. Lake Havasu City has a vast amount of communities all with different types of amenities. Once you have narrowed down both what is affordable and where you would like to lay down your roots I can narrow the search for you. Having a smaller size to search means you won’t be wasting time looking at properties you aren’t interested in. This is an essential step in the process. While deciding on top locations, keep items in mind such as schools, safety, proximity to shops, launch ramps, etc.

I encourage you to just start with a property even if it isn’t your first choice. It’s always great to start somewhere and you will get a feel for the area. This will help you further narrow down the neighborhoods/areas of interest.

Confirm Your Want List

When house hunting, it’s necessary to note which are must-haves for your future home, whether that’s a large open kitchen, a pool in the backyard, or a certain number of bedrooms and bathrooms. By narrowing down your must-haves, and wants, you’ll be clearer on what you’re looking for. Otherwise, the house hunt can become confusing and overwhelming. It’s helpful also to list features or amenities that are nice but not needed, as well as deal breakers.

Let's discuss and update your MLS Alerts

Ask About Pre-Market Homes

Many people and agents will focus on the MLS (Multiple Listing Service) to hunt for homes in the area. While this is a great option for seeing the real estate listings available, others looking for homes in the area also use this method. You can also work with a real estate agent to see if any pre-market (unlisted) homes are available. Typically, these pre-market homes are only found by word of mouth, so your agent may have heard of a few in the area that will be available soon. These homes have little to no competition since they have not yet been publicly listed. It may mean a leg up on the competition if you can find a pre-market house that meets your needs.

Keep the above house-hunting tips in mind for a better experience. Of course, finding the right real estate for your needs is also essential.
