Before diving into your home search, it’s crucial to understand what fits your budget. Your mortgage payment is shaped by three key factors: the loan amount (home price minus your down payment), the interest rate, and the amortization period. By entering these details into a mortgage calculator, you’ll get an estimate of your monthly payment, including principal and interest. Don’t forget to account for property taxes and insurance in your budget. 

Getting pre-approved not only clarifies your price range but also strengthens your position when it’s time to make an offer.
