Buyer Questions

Frequently Asked Questions About Buying a Home in Abilene

Clear answers to help you understand the home buying process, plan with confidence, and know what to expect before you start your search.

What’s the first step in buying a home?

The first step is getting pre-approved with a lender. This gives you a clear budget, helps you understand your monthly payment, and puts you in a stronger position when you find the right home.

How much money do I need to buy a home?

It depends on your loan type, down payment, closing costs, and lender requirements. Some buyers may qualify for low down payment options, while others choose to put more down. A local lender can help you understand the best path for your situation.

How long does the buying process take?

Once you are under contract, many home purchases close in about 30 to 45 days. The full timeline depends on financing, inspections, appraisal, repairs, title work, and the terms negotiated in your contract.

What are closing costs?

Closing costs are expenses paid at closing in addition to your down payment. They may include lender fees, title fees, appraisal costs, prepaid taxes, insurance, and other transaction-related expenses.

Do I really need a REALTOR® when buying?

Yes. A REALTOR® helps you understand the market, compare homes, evaluate pricing, write a competitive offer, negotiate terms, manage deadlines, and work through inspections, repairs, appraisal, and closing details.

What happens after I find a home I like?

Your REALTOR® will help you review comparable sales, discuss offer strategy, and prepare a written offer. If the seller accepts, the contract process begins, including earnest money, inspections, financing, appraisal, title work, and closing preparation.

Can I buy a home and sell mine at the same time?

Yes. Many buyers need to sell one home while purchasing another. The right strategy depends on your equity, financing, timing, and market conditions. We can help you think through whether to sell first, buy first, or use a contingency.

How do I know if a home is priced fairly?

Your REALTOR® can help you compare recent sales, active competition, condition, location, updates, and current market demand. Online estimates can be a starting point, but local market knowledge is critical when deciding what a home is worth.

What should I look for when touring homes?

Look beyond finishes and pay attention to layout, condition, location, roof, foundation, HVAC, drainage, storage, neighborhood fit, and long-term resale considerations. A good REALTOR® helps you notice both opportunities and potential concerns.

Can you help me find homes for sale in Abilene?

Yes. BHGRE Senter, REALTORS® helps buyers search for homes across Abilene and the Big Country using accurate local market data, saved searches, home alerts, and personalized guidance from a local agent.
