THE FIRST-TIME HOMEBUYER’S NEW GO-TO GUIDE
This fully-updated second edition of The Homebuyer’s Question & Answer Book answers 140+ questions first-time buyers need answered at every step of the process.
First-time homebuyers are jumping into a tough market this summer. Interest rates aren’t budging, housing inventory is tight, the move-up market barely exists and underwriting guidelines are tough. Even repeat buyers face roadblocks they probably didn’t have to deal with the last time around.
From the author of Second Homes for Dummies and The RE/MAX Homebuyer’s Survival Guide comes the second edition of a book buyers have relied on for more than 20 years. Knowing just how challenging the market is right now, Bridget McCrea spent the last six months completely updating The Homebuyer’s Question & Answer Book for a new generation of buyers.
In this new edition, she walks buyers from that very first Zillow scroll straight through to the closing table. The book follows the process from start to finish and answers questions like:
→ How much home can I afford?
→ Does a low credit score mean I can’t buy a house?
→ What questions should I ask my lender?
→ What red flags should I look for when previewing homes?
→ How do I keep emotion from taking over the decision?
→ Can a low appraisal kill my deal?
→ What if the home inspection uncovers serious defects?
→ Should I ever buy a home that’s being sold “as is”?
→ Can the transaction get held up at the closing table?
→ What if I discover a defect after closing that the seller never disclosed?
Whether you’re buying a home or know someone who is, this is the book to have nearby before the paperwork, deadlines and decisions start piling up. A companion book is coming soon. I’m Buying My First Home. Now What? has all the checklists buyers need for quick skims and fast answers throughout the buying process.
