You and your partner have finally decided that you should move into your first home as a couple. Good for you! However, you still need to answer a few questions when it comes to your property goals.

It’s a long-term commitment worth the extra pause. From things like a preferred location or property type to your goals and budget, here are some of the things you need to carefully communicate to each other when you want to buy real estate.

Property Goals

As a property investment, you should evaluate your short-term and long-term plans for your house and lot or condo purchase. Try to map out how and when you’re going to sell. Look at your own personal goals, as well. How old should your children be before you move on to another house? Is the real estate market in this particular area consistently stable? 

Look into possible valuations of comparable properties in and around the location, if you can. That should give you a glimpse of what to expect in the long run.

Preferences

For this, you and your partner should discuss potential locations, property types, and developer brands. You should also be open about the kind of community features and environment you think would be conducive to your goals. Accessibility to work and other essentials is a must, after all. It just depends on your priorities.

Of course, you need to talk about your ideal space size, number of bedrooms, and the like. You can try discussing possible design elements and layouts, as well. Find a healthy compromise between each other’s preferences.

Budget

Okay, we all know discussing money can get a little heated sometimes. The important thing to consider is your individual finances and income streams. Think about any existing debts or loans you still have to pay off. See if your dream home is within your means. You have to adjust certain aspects of your lifestyle, as well. 

Setting a budget so as to not overspend can go a long way. It also helps dwindle down your own options.

Financing Options

Apply for a home loan. This, after all, should give you a better picture of the actual house and lot or condo you can afford. 

This can be a lengthy process. With Ohmyhome, we can help you make the decision a whole lot easier. Our super agents can give you your best financing options and can even shortlist a few loan products. They can even provide you with sample computations of rates, schemes, and terms that should work best for your situation.
