How to prepare to buy a home? Lots of potential home buyers have this question.

We know the Indianapolis market is incredible if you're looking to sell your home, but if you're looking to buy, it might be rough. Let's take a look at what you as a home buyer can do to prepare for the journey in this competitive market!

Inventory is Low

One of the first things you find out about our Indianapolis market is that we are extremely low on inventory. If you're a buyer preparing to enter the market, there are some essential items you need to take care of in order to be prepared. 

  1. Find a Good Real Estate Agent: You need a guide in this market and the Evelo Team is full of agents who are excited to come along on this home buying journey with you, guiding and advising so you can get the home you're dreaming of. 
  2. Get with a Great Lender: We've been in the local real estate market for 20+ years and during that time, have built great relationships with local lenders. We can suggest some lenders for you to connect with. They will get you pre approved so you are ready to start looking at homes to buy. 
  3. Be Ready to Write an Offer: You need to be physically and mentally ready to write an offer when you find the home you want. In Indianapolis, we are still seeing multiple offers and homes selling in a few days when they are in good condition and priced right. With so many buyers in the market, being prepared can help you win! 

Prepare to Buy a Home

If you are thinking about buying a home, you need to start preparing sooner rather than later.

Call us and we'll connect you with a lender so you can find out how much you are approved for OR what you need to do financially to get a pre approval. Knowing what you are comfortable spending per month allows you to search for a home in the right price range instead of falling in love with something you can't afford (or don't want to spend.)
