A first conversation with Joel usually covers your budget, whether you have a mortgage pre-approval, and which neighbourhoods fit your price range, since the Saskatchewan REALTORS Association's citywide benchmark of $444,700 spans a wide range of home types.
If you have not yet looked into financing programs like the Home Buyers' Plan at up to $60,000 or the FHSA at $8,000 a year to $40,000, Joel can point you toward a lender who works with first-time buyers regularly before you start touring homes.
Starting that conversation early, before you fall for a specific house, gives you a much clearer sense of what is realistic. Get your hand-reviewed valuation from Joel Dyck.
