Prequalification will provide you with your credit score, along with a solid idea of what you can afford. Over 90% of home loan applications with a prequalification certificate are approved.
You can get prequalified by using online tools, or by contacting a bond originator / your bank for assistance
Getting prequalified for a home loan means you know your credit score, and what you can realistically afford in home loan repayments every month. It's not a guarantee of a home loan, but it's a very good indicator of what size home loan the bank will grant you. This also means that when you set off house-hunting, you are shopping in the right price-bracket for your affordability.
You'll know what you can realistically afford, so you can start house hunting with the right price bracket in mind.
You'll know your credit score. Ideally your credit score should be above 600 in order to have your home loan application approved by the bank (670+ is considered an excellent credit score). If you have a low credit score, you should look at ways to improve it, such as by paying your accounts in full and on time, clearing your credit card debt, and closing accounts once you've paid the balance owed.
As a qualified buyer, you make your offer to the seller that much stronger by demonstrating that you have done your homework on how much you can afford to pay.
