Questions buyers ask most.
Common buyer questions, answered straight. Anything else, send a note and a MUVE agent follows up.
Do I need to be prequalified before touring homes?
In most California markets a prequalification letter is expected before sellers take an offer seriously, so MUVE recommends getting prequalified before active showings begin. The team can connect you with trusted local lenders if you do not already have one; the introduction is free.How much do I need for a down payment in Southern California?
Down payment ranges vary by loan type. FHA loans start around 3 percent down, conventional loans are commonly 5 to 20 percent, and a 20 percent down payment removes PMI on conventional financing. California also offers several first-time buyer assistance programs worth reviewing with a lender. MUVE walks through the options on the first consultation.What do closing costs typically run in California?
Buyer closing costs in California typically run 2 to 3 percent of the purchase price, on top of the down payment. That covers escrow fees, title insurance, lender fees, the appraisal, recording fees, and prepaid items like taxes and insurance. MUVE walks through every line on the closing statement before signing.How long does it take to buy a home with MUVE?
Timelines vary by buyer and market. A typical path is one week from consultation to prequalification, one to eight weeks of active showings until the right home is found, one to two weeks to write and accept an offer, and a 30-day escrow to close. Cash buyers can close in 10 to 14 days. See the buyer process page for a detailed breakdown.Does MUVE work with first-time homebuyers?
Yes. A large share of MUVE's clients are first-time homebuyers. The team explains each step in plain language, walks through every document, and stays available for the homeowner questions that come up after the close as well.
