A September Homebuyer Resource from Rolls Realty + Ruoff Mortgage
As summer winds down and routines settle back in, September can be a great time to revisit a move that may have been pushed aside during the busy summer months.
Before you start scrolling through listings or planning a weekend of home tours, there’s one important question to answer:
How much home fits your budget?
At Rolls Realty, we believe a better home search starts with better information. Through our marketing partnership with Ruoff Mortgage, we’re highlighting one of Ruoff’s online planning tools this month: the Affordability Calculator.
The calculator is designed to help buyers estimate how much they may be able to spend on a home based on their financial information. Ruoff Mortgage
Start With Your Buying Power — Then Start Your Search
A price range is about more than the number displayed on a listing.
Your income, current debt, down payment, estimated taxes, insurance and other housing expenses can all influence what feels comfortable from month to month.
Using an affordability calculator can give you a useful starting point before you begin seriously shopping.
Then comes the part where Rolls Realty can help.
Our agents can take that financial starting point and help you:
- Explore homes within your target range
- Compare Central Ohio neighborhoods and communities
- Understand current market conditions
- Evaluate individual properties and values
- Develop an offer strategy
- Navigate negotiations and the path to closing
