Get Familiar with the Lay of the Land in Englewood, CO
Ready to lay down some roots and buy a house in Englewood? Awesome! You selected a colorful city with an ideal amount of businesses, schools, restaurants and parks, and we're here to help make your house hunt, purchase, and move more streamlined. We service 3.8 million customers across the country and have the inside scoop on Englewood's housing scene.
Englewood's amazing growth has made it a great place to live. But on the flip side, the growth has also led to a shortage of cheaper homes. Continued support for local businesses and cultural growth have helped to entice entrepreneurs, retirees, and new graduates to the Englewood area, but so much change also means a strain on housing options, school capacities, and city roads. Even so, Englewood and its neighboring areas still offer a wide range of home styles and prices. You can find duplexes, single-family homes, townhomes, condos, and (hopefully) your perfect home! When looking to buy a house in Englewood, consider how near or far away the home is from the places you visit most. If possible, drive the route you'd take from the house to your school, office, and favorite hangout spot. The location of your house will impact virtually every part of your life. Traveling around Englewood will also give you an idea of why homes in west Englewood are priced differently than homes in east Englewood, where to find Englewood's most popular attractions, and what the neighborhoods are like.
Are your finances in the right place to buy a home in Englewood? Reach out to a Mr. Cooper Mortgage Professional if you don't know how to go about answering that question. We believe everyone can find their dream home and work to make the journey less worrisome and more rewarding every step of the way. It doesn't matter whether you want to buy a home in Colorado or somewhere else entirely. We support first-time homeowners and experienced homeowners alike. Start with the following steps to help you determine if you're financially ready to buy a home in Englewood.
First, calculate how much house you can afford. This will help determine the price range for your Englewood house hunt. Then, map out your potential monthly payments (including home repairs, insurance, homeowners association fees, property taxes, etc.). You don't need an exact amount for these expenses. Searching the web for Englewood averages will usually give you a solid estimate, though everyone's situation is different. Keep in mind that your monthly mortgage payment could make up the bulk of your monthly home expenses.
Next, look at how much money you can put toward a down payment. Placing a minimum of 20% down can increase your chances of getting a favorable rate and will allow you to avoid private mortgage insurance (PMI). That said, the required down payment will depend on the type of loan you get. Here's where it can help to get prequalified for a mortgage. Prequalification points you in the right direction as far as how much you may be eligible to borrow. Also, take a good look at your credit. Credit history is an important part of your mortgage application. The better your credit is, the more mortgage options you may be presented with— and who doesn't want more choices in life?
