You might be looking for a new home because of a work transfer, because it’s time to upgrade to a larger home, or because you’re ready to purchase your first home and get out of that apartment. Before you even start looking for a home, you need to decide where you will live. Then, you need to make sure you qualify for a mortgage. Obtaining prequalification lets you know how much house you can afford, which means that you can narrow your choices by the neighborhood you want to live in. Some of the hottest trending New England neighborhoods are right in Massachusetts and New Hampshire.
