Practical guidance for buying or selling your first home in Wisconsin — what to do, and when to do it.

TIPS

Buying your first home is exciting — and full of new vocabulary. These habits keep first-time buyers calm, competitive and on budget.

  1. 01

    Get pre-approved first

    A lender’s pre-approval tells you what you can truly afford and shows sellers you are serious. In a multiple-offer situation, an offer without one is rarely considered.

  2. 02

    Budget for more than the mortgage

    Plan for closing costs of roughly 2–5% of the price, plus taxes, insurance, utilities and 1–2% of the home’s value each year for upkeep.

  3. 03

    Ask about first-time buyer programs

    WHEDA, FHA and some local programs offer lower down payments or down-payment assistance. Your lender can tell you which you qualify for.

  4. 04

    Separate must-haves from nice-to-haves

    Write down the three things you cannot live without. Paint, fixtures and flooring are easy to change; location, layout and lot are not.

  5. 05

    Never skip the inspection

    A general inspection is the start. In the Milwaukee area, ask about radon testing and a sewer-lateral scope, especially in older homes.

  6. 06

    Keep your credit steady

    Between pre-approval and closing, avoid new cards, car loans, big purchases or job changes. Lenders re-check your file before closing.

  7. 07

    Visit at different times

    Drive the commute at rush hour and walk the block on a weekend evening. A neighborhood feels different from the listing photos.

  8. 08

    Have earnest money ready

    Earnest money, often 1–3% of the price, is due shortly after acceptance. Keep those funds liquid and documented.

TIMELINE

  1. WEEK 1

    Consultation & pre-approval

    Meet with your REALTOR® to set goals, then get pre-approved so you shop with a firm budget.

    Tour homes, compare neighborhoods and review market data. Timing varies with inventory and your wish list.

    Offer accepted

    Negotiate price, terms and contingencies. Once accepted, you are under contract and deliver earnest money.

  4. DAYS 1–10

    Inspections

    Complete the home and specialty inspections, then negotiate repairs or credits within the contingency window.

  5. DAYS 10–25

    Appraisal & underwriting

    The lender orders the appraisal and verifies your finances. Answer document requests quickly.

  6. DAYS 25–35

    Clear to close

    Bind homeowners insurance, review your Closing Disclosure at least three days before closing and book the walkthrough.

  7. CLOSING DAY

    Final walkthrough & keys

    Confirm the home is in the agreed condition, sign at the title company and collect your keys.

Typical financed purchase: 30–45 days from accepted offer to closing.
