San Diego Market
Shopping for a home in San Diego—from the sunny beaches of Pacific Beach to the family-friendly suburbs of Poway—means you’ll face stiff competition. To stand out, you need more than just a vague sense of what you can afford. That’s where understanding pre-qualification vs. pre-approval comes into play.
1. Pre-Qualification: A Rough Starting Point
San Diego Insight
Pre-qualification is a good entry point if you’re just exploring different areas, like Chula Vista or La Mesa, and want a ballpark range. However, you’ll need to step up to pre-approval once you start seriously house-hunting.
2. Pre-Approval: Your Competitive Edge
3. When & Why to Get Pre-Approved
4. Tips for a Smooth Pre-Approval Process
Conclusion
While pre-qualification is a decent way to begin your San Diego home search, pre-approval is the golden ticket to showing sellers you’re the real deal. It’s especially crucial in a competitive market where properties can receive multiple offers within days.
