Getting pre approved before house hunting is crucial for several reasons:
Know Your Budget – A pre approval helps you understand exactly how much home you can afford, preventing you from wasting time on homes outside your price range.
Stronger Offer – Sellers take offers from pre approved buyers more seriously because it shows you have financing lined up and are ready to move forward.
Faster Closing Process – Since much of the financial vetting is done upfront, the mortgage approval process can move more quickly once you find a home.
Identifies Issues Early – If there are any credit or income issues, getting pre approved gives you time to fix them before making an offer.
Interest Rate Lock – Some lenders allow you to lock in an interest rate at pre approval, which can protect you from rising rates while you search for a home.
Negotiation Power – Sellers and agents see pre approved buyers as serious, which may give you an edge in negotiations, especially in a competitive market.
