The purchase of a principal residence often represents one of the most important acts of a lifetime. More reason to prepare it carefully! You need to know everything right from project definition to visits and financing to make your first real estate transaction a success.

You can find your future housing through two steps: either by going directly and meet the owner or call a professional.

1.     Having a good knowledge of the real estate market limits the risks of "overpaying" a property. 

2.     This sometimes prevents you from moving around unnecessarily

3.     After finding the property of your dreams, you usually have to go in search of a mortgage. 

4.     The rate proposed by financial institutions depends on several factors like your personal contribution and to a lesser extent, the sound management of your accounts. 

5.     If you do not plan to buy immediately, it gives you time to refine your profile.
