Residential FAQs
Your Residential Real Estate Questions, Answered
Real estate decisions don’t have to feel overwhelming. Below you’ll find answers to some of the most common questions we receive, designed to help you better understand the process and what to expect when working with our team.
How much home you can afford depends on your income, debt, credit score, down payment, interest rate, and monthly expenses. Most lenders recommend keeping your total monthly housing payment under 28–36% of your gross monthly income. A mortgage pre-approval is the best way to determine a realistic and comfortable price range before starting your home search.
The first step to buying a home is speaking with a lender to get pre-approved for a mortgage. A pre-approval helps you understand your budget, strengthens your offer, and allows your real estate agent to guide you toward homes that fit your financial goals and timeline.
Down payment requirements vary by loan type. Some conventional loans require as little as 3–5% down, FHA loans typically require 3.5%, and VA or USDA loans may require no down payment at all. The right option depends on your financial situation, credit profile, and long-term goals.
In addition to the purchase price, buyers should budget for closing costs, which often range from 2–5% of the home price. These may include lender fees, title insurance, escrow services, inspections, appraisal fees, prepaid taxes, and homeowners insurance.
From contract to closing, most home purchases take about 30–45 days, depending on the loan type, inspections, appraisals, and negotiations. The total timeline may be longer if you are also selling a home or searching in a competitive market and may be shorter in a cash transaction with no financing involved.
While it’s not legally required, working with a licensed real estate agent provides guidance, market expertise, contract negotiation, and protection throughout the transaction. An experienced agent helps buyers avoid costly mistakes and helps sellers maximize value and minimize risk.
A home’s value is based on recent comparable sales, location, condition, size, upgrades, and current market conditions. Appraisers and real estate agents analyze local data to determine fair market value, which may differ from the listing price or online estimates.
A home inspection is a professional evaluation of a property’s condition, including major systems such as roofing, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and foundation. Inspections are not always required, but they are highly recommended to identify potential issues before finalizing a purchase.
When a home is “under contract,” it means the seller has accepted an offer, and both parties are working through inspections, financing, and other contingencies. The sale is not final until closing, and contracts may still terminate if conditions are not met.
The best time to buy or sell depends on your personal goals, market conditions, and financial readiness. Spring and summer often see higher activity, while fall and winter may offer less competition. A local real estate professional can help determine the best timing for your situation.
Your home’s value depends on recent neighborhood sales, market trends, location, condition, and buyer demand. Online estimates can be helpful starting points, but a professional comparative market analysis (CMA) provides a more accurate and customized valuation.
Preparing a home for sale often includes decluttering, deep cleaning, minor repairs, neutral staging, and professional photography. Strategic pricing and presentation can significantly impact how quickly a home sells and the final sale price.
At closing, all legal documents are signed, funds are transferred, and ownership officially changes hands. Buyers receive the keys, and sellers receive proceeds from the sale. In Texas, closing typically takes place at a title company office.
Earnest money is a deposit made by the buyer to show good faith when submitting an offer. It is typically applied toward closing costs or the down payment and is held in escrow. Earnest money may be refunded or forfeited depending on contract terms and contingencies.
Common mistakes include skipping pre-approval, overextending financially, waiving inspections without understanding the risks, underpricing or overpricing a home, and failing to review contract details carefully. Working with trusted professionals helps reduce these risks.
