Whether you plan on buying a home by the end of this year or in the next three years, there are 4 things that you can do NOW to help you save for the new home you’ve always dreamt of. Learn more in this New Homes Guide article.

If you’re like many Americans, a home will be the single largest purchase you’ll ever make in your lifetime. As a result, it might seem as though the prospect of being able to afford a new home that’s tailor-made for your every desire is way too far off for you to even think about right now. It’s important to remember, however, that you probably won’t be paying for your new home all at once, so you don’t have to work on saving your money up all at once, either.

So how do you get there without landing a huge windfall of funds? Here are four things you can do right now to put you on the right track towards homeownership.

1. Set a Well-Defined Goal

One of the best ways to get on the right path to saving for a new home is by deciding what it is you’re trying to do.

Get specific. Don’t just set a goal of being able to buy a house — that leaves it too open-ended and doesn’t offer any real direction for this undertaking. Think about what kind of home you’d like to own or build, where you might want to live, what kind of features it might have, etc. Don’t worry, your goal can change as you progress and as things in your life change, but it’s so important to have a well-defined goal in place as a starting point.

Oh, and as a bonus, shopping around and figuring out what you want to save for is a fun experience.

2. Build Out a Reasonable Savings Plan

Once you have something in mind that you want to start saving for, you’ll be able to better understand how much it might cost you when you’re ready to buy. Then, you can put together a reasonable savings plan around that number so that you can figure out how long it’ll take you to get there.

We say “reasonable” here because there’s nothing worse than overestimating how quickly you can save up for something only to find out that you’ve overextended yourself. Take a hard look at your expenses and decide where you can cut back or do more to help you get to your goal when you want to.

3. Keep a Written Record of Expenses and Income

Today is a great day to create a budget if you haven’t already. Whether you use pen and paper, a spreadsheet application or one of the many budgeting apps available, having a written record of how much money you expect to have in your bank account at the end of the day is an essential step in accomplishing your goal of owning a new home.

Keep track of everything you spend and earn so that you can ensure you stay on track with your savings plan. And don’t worry if things change along the way — an unexpected expense here or there or, even better, an unexpected raise — this is just about holding yourself accountable as you work towards something bigger, not being able to predict the future.

4. Research Financial Assistance Options

If you’re buying a new home for the first time or don’t think you’ll be able to afford a down payment, you’ll want to explore some of the financial assistance options available to you because that will have an impact on how much you’ll want to plan to save.

FHA loans are a common choice for first-time homebuyers. These types of loans are backed by the US Federal Housing Administration, and they make it possible for many people to purchase a home when they would otherwise be unable to due to income restrictions or limited savings capabilities. It’s important to note that these types of loans often carry the requirement of mortgage insurance, so that’s something to consider in your budget.

Another form of financial assistance worth considering is the VA loan, which is reserved for veterans and active service members or their spouses. These loans allow for lower closing costs and limit or eliminate the mortgage insurance often required for most financially assisted loans.

Since 2008, an increasing number of solar panels have started appearing on the rooftops of (all types) of American homes.  The cost of “going solar” is coming down at the same time more Americans are showing a concern for environmentally friendly and cost-effective options over traditional power.  The increase in solar use is due in part to the Solar Energy Technologies Office’s (SETO) investments which establishes subsidies for adaptation of solar energy as well as incentives for research and development of new technologies.  In 2011 SETO launched the SunShot Initiative with the objective of making solar electricity costs competitive with other generation sources by 2020, without subsidies. 

According to the Solar Industries Association (SIA), over 1.8 million US households have gone solar. If you are considering joining them by adding a solar energy system to your home, you’ll find there is no one-size-fits-all solution. Here are some helpful resources and interesting facts:

While there is growing national interest in ‘going solar’ some states have higher adaptation rates typically related to geography, weather and financial incentives. No surprise that Florida is ranked in the top ten states for solar power installations – and especially in sunny Orlando.  In fact, Lennar Orlando rolled out their first solar community in 2016 when they put a new spin on eco-friendly with the grand opening of Innovation Estates at Storey Park.  

Wherever you call home and whenever you are in your going-green journey, we hope you will take a good look at the benefits of going solar.  And, check out Lennar’s Open Door Blog for more ways to make your house your home.
