Peterborough Real Estate Guidance That Starts With Understanding
Buy Your First Home With Confidence
Buying a home is a big decision, especially when it is your first.
I’m Lea-Ann Cripps, REALTOR® with Coldwell Banker Electric Realty, helping home buyers and sellers in Peterborough, Ontario make informed real estate decisions with confidence.
If you are thinking about buying your first home, you probably have questions. How much can you afford? Where should you start? Which Peterborough neighbourhoods should you consider? What happens when you find the right home? How do you know if you are making a good decision?
You do not need to have everything figured out before speaking with a REALTOR®.
My approach starts with education. I will help you understand the process, explore your options and know what to expect so you can make decisions that feel right for you.

First-Time Home Buyer in Peterborough? Start Here.
Buying your first home can feel complicated when you have never been through the process before. There are mortgages, deposits, closing costs, home inspections, conditions, offers and plenty of unfamiliar terminology.
My job is to make the process easier to understand.
As a Peterborough REALTOR® working with first-time home buyers, I can help you move from wondering whether homeownership is possible to understanding what your next step should be.
How Much Does It Cost to Buy a Home in Peterborough?
Home prices are only one part of your buying budget.
First-time buyers should also understand expenses such as their deposit, down payment, legal fees, home inspection costs, adjustments, moving expenses and other potential closing costs.
The amount you need will depend on the property you purchase and your individual circumstances.
Rather than relying on a generic online estimate, start by understanding the different costs that can be involved.
