We work with a lot of first-time homebuyers and we get a lot of questions like, “can I afford to buy a house right now” and “what kind of property can I afford”. So today, we are doing an episode for all the homebuyers out there! Join our hosts Christian Nossum and Joanna Beecher of the Awesome Nossum Group at Wilson Realty as we answer these questions as best as we can for you the buyer. We will discuss the benefits of buying, figuring out if you can buy, and we are going to give a few examples where we work backwards based on different monthly payments you might be comfortable with and, different amounts of cash that you might have available and then we will give you an idea of what kind of property you can afford in the Seattle Area!If you like listening to the Awesome In Seattle Podcast, leave us a review. We would love to hear from you!
