At this point in December, it can start to feel like the New Year \u2013 along with all our hopes, dreams, wishes and expectations for it \u2013 are barreling down on us. Personally, I\u2019m a rabid Resolution-setter, and I have a pretty strong track record of making New Year\u2019s changes actually happen \u2013 and stick.\u00a0 But what I know after years of using the New Year as a great excuse to set and meet some goals is that it\u2019s very, very helpful to get a head start, ramping-up to new habits, behaviors and target goals achievements starting in December.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re one of the millions who has an eye on 2012 as the year in which you\u2019ll buy a home (first or not), here are five things you can do now to put yourself on the right path:
\n
\n1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Check your credit.<\/strong> Take my word for it: there is no bad surprise worse than a bad credit surprise. Okay, maybe there is one thing worse \u2013 a credit surprise you receive while you\u2019re in the midst of trying to buy a home!<\/p>\n

Recent studies have revealed that a record high number of real estate transactions are falling out of escrow, and that credit \u201cissues\u201d are a leading cause of these dead deals. Your best chance at catching and correcting score-lowering errors and other derogatory items before they destroy your personal American Dream is to start checking and correcting while you still have time on your side.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Do your research.\u00a0<\/strong> The more rapidly the real estate market changes, the more it behooves smart buyers to study up before they jump in.\u00a0 And now\u2019s the time \u2013 you can start doing online and in-person research into topics ranging from:<\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Target states, cities and neighborhoods. <\/strong>Whether you\u2019re relocating or simply trying to narrow down the local districts to focus on during your 2012 house hunt, December is a great time to start your online research into decision-driving factors like tax rates, school districts, neighborhood character and even prices in various areas. Resident ratings and reviews sites like Trulia and NabeWise can help you make the neighborhood-lifestyle match.<\/p>\n

Once you narrow things down and start speaking to local agents, ask them to brief you on the local market dynamics, including how long homes typically stay on the market and whether they generally go for more or less than the asking price, so you can be smart about how you search. (And yes, Virginia, there are areas where homes sell for more than asking, even as we speak!)<\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Real estate and mortgage pros. <\/strong>If you don\u2019t already have your pros picked out, now is the time to get on the horn or drop an email or Facebook message to your circle of contacts, asking them for a referral to a broker or agent they love.\u00a0 Follow up by: checking whether these pros are active in answering questions on Trulia Voices, searching for their name and seeing what sort of feedback on them you can cull from the web, then giving them a ring and launching a conversation about whether you and they might be a good partnership.
\n
\n\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Short sales and REOs. <\/strong>Distressed property sales are not for the unwary. If you want to target upside down or foreclosed homes, or are planning to house hunt in an area where many of the listings are described as short sales or foreclosures, get educated about what you can expect from a distressed property purchase transaction before you get your heart set on a short sale.<\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 What you get for the money.<\/strong> Online house hunting is a powerful tool \u2013 especially when it\u2019s cold and wet! But there comes a point in your house hunt where you\u2019ve got to just get out into the actual physical homes you\u2019re seeing online in order to get a strong, accurate sense of what home features, aesthetics and location characteristics correlate with what price points.<\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Mortgage musts. <\/strong>You can read a bunch of articles about mortgages and get yourself pretty far down the path toward qualifying for a home loan, but you can only get a personalized action plan for a smooth road \u2018home\u2019 by talking with a local mortgage broker and having them assess your basic financials.\u00a0 They might say you need to move funds around, pay a bill down or off or produce some sort of documentation from your employer.\u00a0 And the time to start all that is now.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Fluff up your cash cushion.<\/strong> So, you\u2019ve saved up your 3.5 percent down payment. Perhaps you saved a little extra for closing costs.\u00a0 Or maybe you\u2019re even one of those uber-aggressive 20-percent-down-ers.\u00a0 No matter how much you\u2019ve saved, you\u2019ll find that you could use more once you activate your home buying action plan. Mark my words \u2013 after closing, you\u2019ll crave extra cash to do some repairs, upgrade a couple of things, buy appliances or even just to hold onto in order to minimize your anxiety about depleting your savings!<\/p>\n

So, if homebuying is on your personal 2012 action plan, don\u2019t go hog wild on holiday gifts. Instead, wait until next year and give yourself the gift of a home.<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Shed some stuff.<\/strong>\u00a0 Sell it. Donate it. Give it to relatives who\u2019ve always coveted it.\u00a0 Just get rid of it. If you do it before year\u2019s end, you can kill three birds with one stone: (a) getting some cold hard cash to go toward your savings, (b) getting some tax receipts so you can deduct the value of your donations in January, (c) minimizing money spent on holiday gifts for loved ones and these two bonus birds \u2013 clearing the mental clutter that physical clutter creates and prepping for your move in advance.
\n
\n5.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Sit very, very still.<\/strong>\u00a0 Sometimes, the best way to further our goals is to stop tripping ourselves up.\u00a0 In that vein, commit right now to refrain from making any major financial moves until you buy your home.\u00a0 Don\u2019t quit your job to start that personal chef business (yet), don\u2019t pull a bunch of cash out of your savings account (without getting clearance form your mortgage pro first), and don\u2019t start buying cars and boats on credit \u2013 even if you do love the idea of putting the red bow on the car you give your wife, like in the commercials.<\/p>\n

I assure you, the bow you\u2019ll be able to put on that house or condo will be much bigger, redder and more tax-advantaged!<\/p>\n
