You\u2019re not alone.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Buying a home can seem like an untameable financial monster, but with time, patience, and a few thrifty strategies, anyone can begin saving for a new home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So where to begin? Right here.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"First_Take_These_3_Steps_to_Start_Saving_Smart\"><\/span>First, Take These 3 Steps to Start Saving Smart<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before you can begin, let\u2019s get a few important steps out of the way so you can make the most out of your saving journey:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_1_Set_Up_A_House_Account\"><\/span>Step 1: Set Up A House Account<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you\u2019ve decided to save for a new home, a smart place to start your saving journey is to set up a separate bank account that\u2019s solely for your new home. That way you can easily track your progress and, since the money isn&#8217;t in your checking account, you\u2019ll be less likely to dip into these savings when certain needs arise.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Setting up automatic monthly payments into your new savings account is an easy strategy to make sure the money gets in there without a second thought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_2_Figure_Out_What_When_And_Where_You_Want_to_Buy\"><\/span>Step 2: Figure Out What, When, And Where You Want to Buy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first step to saving extra money for your future house is figuring out how much money you\u2019ll need to save for your mortgage or full purchase price. Figuring how much and <a href=\"https:\/\/rebatekey.com\/blog\/how-to-save-money-each-month\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">how to save money each month<\/a> will help you to come up with your savings goals and savings timeline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A general rule of thumb is to save slightly more than you think you\u2019ll need. When the time comes to buy, you\u2019ll have a little bit of wiggle room in case you find your dream home but it\u2019s a bit above your intended budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To help you find the right amount to save, you\u2019ll need to answer a few questions (these answers may change over time and you may need to adjust but it\u2019s good to have a general idea of your current benchmark):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_do_you_want_to_buy\"><\/span><em>When do you want to buy?&nbsp;<\/em><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do you want to buy a home in 2 years? 5 years? 10 Years? Narrowing this down will help you decide how aggressively you\u2019ll need to save and where your personal finance needs to stand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_much_do_you_want_to_spend_on_your_house_deposit_and_monthly_mortgage_payment\"><\/span><em>How much do you want to spend on your house deposit and monthly mortgage payment?&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/em><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Helpful questions here will be:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Where do you want to buy?&nbsp;<\/li><li>What size home do you want to buy?&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Keep in mind that the housing marking is volatile and will most likely look a bit different when you buy compared to the current market. Also, keep in mind the cost of utility bills and homeowners insurance.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/rebatekey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/shutterstock_678316639.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1869\" width=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rebatekey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/shutterstock_678316639.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/rebatekey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/shutterstock_678316639-615x410.jpg 615w, https:\/\/rebatekey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/shutterstock_678316639-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rebatekey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/shutterstock_678316639-225x150.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_3_Figure_Out_How_Much_Money_You_Need_to_Save\"><\/span>Step 3: Figure Out How Much Money You Need to Save<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let\u2019s say you\u2019ve decided you want to buy a three-bedroom house in your area in five years. Now it\u2019s time to do a little research to create financial goals.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Estimate the costs <\/strong>\u2013&nbsp;Find some houses you like that have recently been sold in your area. How much were they sold for? Since you\u2019re wondering how to save money, take the average sale price of a few of your favorites to get an idea of how much it could cost for you to buy a similar home.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Calculate the down payment <\/strong>\u2013 It\u2019s a good idea to save for a twenty percent down payment on a home, so if the average price of the homes you found was $350,000, you will want to save about $70,000.<br><\/li><li><strong>Think about your budget <\/strong>\u2013 If you aren\u2019t sure what type of house you want or where you want to live, then simply decide how much money you think you\u2019ll want to spend on a house. If you want to have enough to buy a $500,000 home then you\u2019ll need to save around $100,000. Once you have a benchmark number, you can figure out your new budget and savings plan timeline much more easily.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Figure out how much you\u2019d need to save every month <\/strong>\u2013&nbsp;Let\u2019s say you want to save $50,000 for a down payment in five years. Divide your total amount needed by 5 ($50,000 \/ 5 = $10,000 per year). Then divide that number by 12 ($10,000 \/ 12 = $833 per month). If you already have some money that you\u2019ve put aside for your house, deduct that from the $50,000 and do the rest of the calculations accordingly.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Save_Money_For_a_House_The_3_Best_Strategies\"><\/span>How to Save Money For a House: The 3 Best Strategies<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now that you know what you want to spend and how much you want to save, you might still be wondering \u201cOkay, but how do I actually start saving that money?\u201d<br><br>The key ways to start saving money to buy a house are:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Decreasing spending<\/li><li>Increasing income<\/li><li>Spending smartly<br><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ways_to_Decrease_Spending\"><\/span>Ways to Decrease Spending<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s time to take a fine-tooth comb through your current budget and spending habits and trim the excess expenses. Here are a few money grabbers that may be eating away at your paycheck:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Do you eat out often?<br><\/li><li>Do you buy coffee every morning on your way to work? And maybe one after lunch?<br><\/li><li>Do you have a lot of automatic monthly subscriptions? Are you using all of them? Do you need them? Are there less expensive options?<br><\/li><li>Is there a more optimal car insurance option for you?<br><\/li><li>Are you paying for cable? Do you use it?<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All of these expenditures and monthly payment traps add up. Five dollars on a coffee here, thirty dollars on a dinner there, and all of a sudden you\u2019re spending $300 more a month than you need to. A few simple cutbacks could give you a healthy boost towards your savings goal. We\u2019re not suggesting that you never eat out again, but it can make a difference to reduce your dinners out to once a week instead of four times a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/rebatekey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/shutterstock_142450357.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1870\" width=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rebatekey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/shutterstock_142450357.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/rebatekey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/shutterstock_142450357-615x410.jpg 615w, https:\/\/rebatekey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/shutterstock_142450357-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rebatekey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/shutterstock_142450357-225x150.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ways_to_Increase_Income\"><\/span>Ways to Increase Income<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It may seem obvious, but one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/rebatekey.com\/blog\/5-best-ways-to-save-money\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">best ways to save money<\/a> is to&#8230; make more money.
