Explore the Homebuying Process
Whether it's your first time buying a new home or you're in need of a refresher for the next home purchase, we're here to walk you through the process—ensuring that you'll be prepared and informed every step of the way.
Prequalify
Get a no-strings-attached financial assessment
This no-commitment, knowledge-building exercise gives you insight into how much home you could probably afford, as well as which home loan type might be your best fit. All it requires is for a lender to take a snapshot of your finances and run a credit check. Prequalification is a powerful tool that will let you know exactly what steps you'll need to take before you're ready to purchase a home—if you're not there already! It also establishes a relationship with a lender, which will come in handy later on when you need preapproval to purchase a particular home.
Get PrequalifiedCOMMON HOMEBUYING MYTHS
You need a 20% down payment.
Actually, most buyers don't. Some even qualify for zero-down loans.
You have to pay for everything.
Maybe not. Several home loan types allow you to use a financial gift from family or friends toward your home purchase.
You need perfect credit.
There wouldn't be many homebuyers if this were the case. While exceptional credit is ideal, many buyers have no trouble qualifying for a home loan with good credit.
House Hunt
Search on-site or online
Once you've prequalified and know your price range, you're ready to go shopping. Depending on what's most convenient for you, you could browse online, tour communities in person, or a combination of both! This is the time to put together your wish list of everything you'd want in your dream home at Skyeview at Skye Canyon.

Contract
Make a preliminary commitment to buy
One of the great advantages of new home construction is that it's first-come, first-served. As long as you're a qualified buyer, the house is yours if you're the one who got there first. When you've found a home that checks the right boxes, you'll want to act fast to get it under contract—ensuring that no other buyer can swoop in and buy it out from under you.
