Why you should enroll in Homebuyer Education (even if you’re not ready to buy a house right now)

Do you dream of owning your own home, but aren’t sure if it’s feasible in the near future? You’re not alone. The housing market has been tough, with home prices and mortgage rates skyrocketing. But, with a good credit score and a strategy to approach your down payment, homeownership doesn’t have to be out of reach. United Housing’s Homebuyer Education program provides a comprehensive, 8-hour course that covers essential topics to guide you through homebuying. 

Enrolling in UHI's Homebuyer Education course is a great first step, whether you want to purchase a home in the next few months or years. Here is why you should sign up today, even if homeownership seems far off. 

Get a head start on financial prep

Understanding your financial situation is a crucial aspect of the homebuying process. UHI’s course will guide you through credit management, creating a budget and saving for a down payment. Learning these skills early on will prepare you to make informed decisions when purchasing a home. 

Build confidence by working with professionals 

Navigating the real estate market can be tough, but it doesn’t have to be! The course covers working with real estate agents, lenders and home inspectors to ensure you feel comfortable and confident in your homebuying journey. 

Learn about loan options and mortgages

Not all mortgages are created equal – and it’s important to understand the different types available to you. By learning about mortgage and loan options and their eligibility requirements, you can feel empowered to choose the best option for your financial situation.

Understand the responsibilities of being a homeowner

Owning a home is a lot more than just paying a mortgage. UHI’s Homebuyer Education course shares information on home maintenance and care, helping you prepare for the ongoing responsibilities of homeownership. 

Access valuable resources and support 

After you complete the course, you’ll receive a certificate and access to UHI’s network of resources – from getting a home loan using the Cherry Mortgage program and working with our team to help you buy down mortgage points to simply chatting with our team of professionals to walk you through the challenging parts of the buying process. Our course is also a certified education program, which may be required for some financing programs!
