April 5, 2023

Buying a new home can be very exciting but also may seem daunting. With the right builder, the process can be smoother and much less stressful. If you're looking for a new construction home near Fort Worth, TX, we have a variety of move-in ready homes for everyone to find their perfect fit. With some careful planning and research, the home-buying process can be smooth and even enjoyable! Here are some of the tips we have found that can help make the process a little easier. 

1. Start by doing your research about the area you are wanting to move to. Look at the new home communities and the school districts (if applicable) in your desired area. For example, if you're looking for a new home community on the outskirts of town, but still close enough to the city, then Grace View Estates or Freeman Ranch in Weatherford, Texas might be a good fit for you!

2. Determine your budget and how much you could comfortably afford. It is very important to know how much you are looking at spending to get into your home. We recommend considering all the costs involved such as the down payment, monthly payment, closing costs, and ongoing expenses like property taxes and utilities. Also, take a look at your credit score and see if there are any derogatory remarks that you would want to fix or get straight before going through the pre-approval process.

3. Get pre-approved by the Mortgage Mark Team! Before browsing homes, it is very important to know how much house you are comfortably willing to pay for. That way, when you find the one you are interested in, you can submit your offer and go to contract quickly! Also, when working with the Mortgage Mark Team, they will help you understand all of the financial questions you might have surrounding the home-buying process.

4. Conduct your research on any new items that you might not have used before! Such as your water well, propane tank (if applicable), private septic system, irrigation system, and how to care for your land through the seasons! This way you can properly nurture your beautiful new home and land in Parker County post-move-in!
