Your affordability is determined by factors like income, expenses, credit score, and mortgage rates. A common guideline is that your monthly housing costs should not exceed 28-31% of your gross income.
Pre-qualification is an estimate, while pre-approval involves a detailed financial review. Pre-approval gives you a stronger position when making an offer.
While 20% is a traditional benchmark, many lenders accept lower percentages. FHA loans, for example, may require as little as 3.5% down.
The process can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months. Factors include market conditions, mortgage approval timelines, and negotiations.
