# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Homebuyer Seminar: First Steps to Buying in New Haven & Litchfield County
- **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 17 Feb, 2026 at 05:30 pm
- **Event Description**: Thinking about buying your first home this spring? Join us for a practical, local homebuyer seminar hosted by FD Community Credit Union in Waterbury.

We’ll walk through the homebuying process from start to finish with a clear focus on what first-time buyers need to do before they start touring homes, including how pre-approval works, how to set a realistic monthly comfort zone, what to expect in today’s market, and how to avoid common mistakes that can delay closing.
We’ll also cover why condos and townhomes can be a smart entry point, what to watch for with HOA fees and rules, and how to build the right team (lender, agent, inspector, attorney) so you’re ready when the right home hits the market.

Topics we’ll cover
• Pre-approval vs. pre-qualification and how to set your budget
• What the spring market may look like locally
• Offer strategy basics and what “competitive” really means
• Touring homes: what to look for beyond the cosmetic stuff
• Condos and townhomes: pricing, HOA fees, and due diligence
• The biggest “don’t do this” during the process (credit and large purchases)

Who should attend?
First-time buyers, renters planning to buy in 2026, and anyone who wants a clear plan before starting their search.
