Understanding Home Affordability
The estimated home price you can afford helps you understand how ready your budget is to buy a home.
Your prequalification estimate helps you understand how ready you are to get prequalified for a mortgage and start shopping. Real estate agents and sellers prefer to know you’re prequalified before you go to open houses and make offers.
These two numbers don’t need to match and often won’t. But when they’re reasonably close and realistic, you could be ready to get prequalified and start shopping for a home.
