The Credit Counselling Society presents:

Homeownership – Are You Ready?

Preparing to purchase a new home is a thrilling time! Deciding to purchase a home will likely be one of the biggest decisions you will make during the course of your life. While it may seem exciting to just dive in, there is more to being a homeowner than just finding room for a mortgage payment.

Join us for our home purchasing webinar to learn some valuable home buying tips to help ensure you are making the right decision for you and/or your family. In the session, you will learn how to:

• Determine whether you are financially ready to buy a home;

• Identify extra costs associated with a home purchase and why they're important;

• Distinguish between various types of homes;

• Decide on what financing and down payment options work best for you; and

• Identify the costs of buying a home versus the costs of owning a home.

This session will last 60 minutes in a webinar format. All participants will walk away with ideas, resources and the full curriculum upon request.
