What You Need to Get Started
Start by getting Pre-Approved
Getting pre-approved will let you know how much you can afford. Our mortgage department can also help you estimate your mortgage payment and property taxes.
Home Savings Club Account
Utilize a Home Savings Club account to make sure you are prepared for closing costs, moving costs, and home renovations. Plus, you will save $100 on closing costs on your MCU Mortgage.
Now is a GREAT time to buy!
The best months of the year to buy a house are in January, February, and October. Fewer people shop for houses during these months and sellers may be willing to offer you a more favorable price.
