With a new year, there are typically new goals! Is one of yours buying a new home? Whether you are a new buyer or a seller wanting a replacement property, buying a new home in 2025 is VERY exciting! So, how do you make that dream a reality? Here’s some quick tips to get you started.
Hi, I’m Tanja Odzak, eXp Realty. I love helping people. I’m a Senior Level Realtor and I help people sell and buy homes right here in the East Bay!
The first tip is to focus on your *why*.
Why do you want to move in the first place? Maybe you need more space, want to downsize, or it’s finally time to buy your first home. Your ‘why’ will keep you motivated and focused.
You then want to get clear on your needs. That means making a list of:
– your must haves,
– your nice to have’s or
-your ‘not in budget’ things.
Is a home office or a big backyard with a great school an essential? Knowing your priorities helps you and your agent focus on the right homes, especially if you’re working with a tight budget.
Then you need to know your numbers. You need to take a close look at your finances. How much have you saved? What monthly payment feels right? Work with a lender to plan your down payment, explore assistance programs, and get pre-approved, so you’re ready to make an offer when you find that perfect home you have been searching for.
Finally, always lean on a professional. Partnering with an experienced agent is
crucial to help you make the right and informed decisions. We have the knowledge and experience to guide you through every step, from planning, negotiations, and to closing. I know the current market conditions, pricing trends and inventory in the neighborhoods
you want.
