If you're planning to buy a home this fall, don't start with Zillow.

Start with your finances.

Before you fall in love with a house, get pre-approved, know your monthly payment, understand your closing costs, and decide how much cash you want to keep after closing.

Why?

Because mortgage rates are still around the mid-6% range, and affordability continues to be one of the biggest challenges for buyers.

Once you know your numbers, you can shop with confidence.

You won't waste time looking at homes outside your budget, and when the right opportunity comes along, you'll be ready to move.

The best buyers aren't necessarily the ones who move the fastest.

They're the ones who are prepared when the right home appears.

Preparation beats panic every time.
