Looking for your first home in Winnipeg?
It seems there has never been a better time to be a first time home buyer than right now: Interest rates are low, the economic outlook is positive and there are LOTS of homes on the market, at least when compared to recent markets in Winnipeg.
Lots of Open Houses to go and look at, but remember that the agent at the Open House already represents the Home Seller!
So what is the best course of action for buying your first home
Step 1: Contact a real estate agent
Actually, even before you start looking at Open Houses, hire your own agent who will represent you, and look out for YOUR interests.

Step 3: Look at houses or condos
Step 3: Look at houses or condosAfter your pre-approval, the fun stuff starts. Go look at homes within your price range, and even drop by Open Houses.
Step 4: Make an offer
