CONGRATULATIONS!!

YOU’RE THINKING OF BUYING A HOME!!

Boling

Buying a home is one of the biggest investments and financial decisions you can make. While it is a major commitment and responsibility, it is also a very exciting time in your life. I am proud that I get to play a part in it!

With that said, it’s important to keep in mind that home buying is a complicated process. There are steps to take in the buying process so that you can feel confident, make informed decisions and act as an educated buyer.

First, how much home can you buy? The price of your home shouldn’t be any more than 2.5 times your annual salary, and a house payment should be no more than 25% of your gross monthly income (before taxes and deductions). Keep in mind that these are guidelines and there are many factors that determine how much home you can afford.

Next, take a close look at your credit report. Your Credit History is one of the principal measures used by a lender to determine your interest rate.

The better your credit, the better lending terms your bank or lending institution will be able to offer you. A higher interest rate translates into a higher monthly mortgage payment, and so your credit score will directly affect how much money you can borrow and at which homes you should be looking. The average credit score in the US is 678. An exceptional credit score is above 780 and a low credit score is below 620. There are a few actions that you can take that will negatively affect your credit s core and therefore your home purchasing power. If at all possible you should avoid making a major purchase or change your job if you’re seriously considering buying a home in the next few months.

Be sure and talk to a qualified lender. A professional advisor will not only be able to give you information on the best rates and terms available in the current market, but he or she can also explain to you what options you have given your unique financial situation.

When you hear Skyactiv or I-ActivSense Technology, I’m sure it is easy to think of science fiction movies like Terminator or Star Wars. Or to think of something from 2050. Would you be surprised if I told you I was talking about a car that’s already out there? We aren’t simply talking about a mass of metal- we are talking about a Mazda.

Let’s get technical. Mazda has fast-forwarded into the future and has developed the SKYACTIV family of engines. They get more fuel efficiency than conventional engines and harness more potential energy than conventional internal combustion engines. Simply speaking, they have stumbled upon a hidden gem, and hid it under the hood of all new Mazda’s. With a compression ratio of 14:1, SKYACTIV engines bring you sheer driving pleasure. But let’s not just get caught up in the engine. Mazda has so much more to reveal to its loyal followers.

Back to the Future had no idea this would be happening in 2015. Along with unrivaled driving pleasure, Mazda boasts outstanding environmental and safety performance. They have beefed up their safety research and development to accomplish their ultimate goal- the realization of a safe, accident-free automotive society. If that doesn’t sound futuristic, I don’t know what does. They try to prevent accidents from even happening…like modern-day time travel. Mazda’s are equipped with radar cruise control, automatically controlling speed to maintain the distance to the car ahead. Also, your car points the low-beam headlights in the direction you steer. i-ACTIVSENSE technologies sound an alarm when there is a risk of collision, detect lane markings on the road and warn the driver of unintentional lane departures, and monitor approaching vehicles on the sides and rear. Mazda makes your driving experience as stress-free as possible, with milliwave radar and quasi-milliwave radar, camera and near-infrared lasers acting as your co-pilots. Acceleration control also helps avoid sudden take-off when the accelerator is pressed by mistake.

Just because Mazda’s are tech-savvy doesn’t mean you can’t get one for yourself. Kelley Blue Book’s KBB.com named the 2015 Mazda3 as the most tech-savvy vehicle available for less than $20,000. KBB.com stated that the Mazda3 is available with a “full suite of easy-to-use multimedia options and is by far the most affordable car you can get with an infotainment controller in the center console.” The 2016 Mazda6 has been named one of “Ward’s 10 Best Interiors,” by WardsAuto World magazine. If you aren’t already convinced, 1. You’re a hard sell, and 2. the Mazda6 and CX-5 have also earned J.D Power’s 2015 APEAL award in their segments. The APEAL award surveys what customers think of their new vehicles after the first 90 days of ownership. Now that’s a good first impression.

Mazda has won praise throughout the industry for style, technology, poise and driving dynamics. And even better news, all of these amazing innovations have touched down in your backyard! At Beach Mazda, they go above and beyond to put you in your very own hi-tech Mazda. Simply visit Beach Mazda to discover the world of the future today.
