Step 1 – Set Your Price Limit

It is important to remember how much you have in your budget to pay each month for your mortgage. Don't forget to set a mortgage payment that allows you to meet your monthly expenses as well as your long-term goals. Here is some additional advice. Set a BUDGET with:
  • any financial support or obligations you pay on a monthly basis
  • utility costs and future home maintenance and repair costs
  • include savings for other goals such as having children, college tuition, retirement
  • THEN, include an estimated mortgage payment including taxes and insurance which you can safely afford each month
