Compare renting and buying
Use the affordability and rent-vs-buy tools to understand monthly payment, cash needed, and the longer-term cost picture.
Focus the search
Narrow property type, commute, schools, neighborhood fit, must-haves, deal breakers, taxes, HOA dues, and condition tolerance.
Tour and evaluate homes
Look beyond finishes by reviewing layout, major systems, resale concerns, disclosures, property taxes, and likely repair costs.
Offer, inspect, and close
Work through offer terms, attorney review, inspection, appraisal, lender conditions, final walkthrough, and closing preparation.
