Considering a pre-approvalGetting pre-approved by a lender is like getting a thumbs-up that they're ready to lend you a certain amount for buying a home. It helps you stay on track with your budget when searching for properties and shows sellers you're serious and have a handle on what you can afford to repay. Though not a must, pre-approvals can give first-home buyers an extra boost of confidence when making bids. Just keep in mind, they usually last around three months and depend on keeping your finances steady.
