What the first step of the home buying process?

The first step in the home buying process in Houston, TX, is getting pre-approved for a mortgage to know your budget, then partnering with a local realtor to search listings. This positions you strongly in offers and avoids wasted time on unaffordable homes.

Buying a home in Houston typically takes 45-90 days from pre-approval to closing, with 30-45 days under contract for inspections, appraisals, and financing. Total time varies by market speed and loan type.

A seller’s market in Houston means high demand and low inventory drive up prices, favoring sellers with quick sales and bidding wars. Houston has leaned seller’s market post-2020 but is stabilizing.

For a home purchase in Houston/Texas, aim for a credit score of 620+ for conventional loans (FHA as low as 580); scores above 740 secure the best rates. Lenders review full financials beyond score.

Down payments in Houston average 3-20% depending on loan: 3% for conventional first-timers, 0% for VA/USDA, or 3.5% FHA. Higher scores qualify for lower amounts amid rising prices.

Earnest money in Texas/Houston is typically 1-2% of purchase price (up to 10% in hot markets) deposited after offer acceptance to show seriousness. It’s refundable during option period if issues arise, otherwise applied to closing.
