The Home Buying Process

Step 1 Of 6

Financial Health

As you consider buying a home, make sure that it is financially feasible.

Can you afford the up-front costs of purchasing a house, as well as the ongoing monthly mortgage and other living expenses? How can you focus your search for homes in a price range that you can afford?  Our calculators will help you determine some preliminary answers. Plug in your figures and see if it all adds up.

How Much Can You Afford?

This is a simple calculator that provides a range of home purchase prices based solely on the income you enter, without factoring in other monthly expenses, taxes, insurance, your other financial goals or other considerations in gaining a loan approval.

How Much Income Do You Need?

Based on the purchase amount and your anticipated downpayment, we can give you an estimate of needed income levels and monthly payments for a variety of loan programs.

What Is Your Monthly Payment?

Wonder what your monthly payment might be?  Fill in the home cost and your anticipated downpayment for estimates.  Remember, these results do not include property taxes or homeowner's insurance.

Should You Rent Or Buy?

Want to know the "after-tax" net cost of owning a house versus renting?  Tax advantages, and building equity in your home are potential positives for you as a homeowner.  Check our mortgage rates to the right to put in a realistic interest rate for the loan term you choose.

Getting Pre-Qualified

Pre-qualification is based on information you provide about your income, your assets, and your liabilities. Use this pre-qualification calculator to estimate how much you can afford and generate a pre-qualification letter.  To have the best results to guide your home search, enter your information as accurately as possible.
