- BALL Score is an assessment tool designed to help you understand your affordability and timeline.
- It evaluates three practical pillars: Financial Strength, Affordability, and Buying Timeline.
- Your score provides a realistic property price ceiling and sustainable monthly commitment level.
- Completing the assessment generates a personalized ownership roadmap tailored to your circumstances.
Why Readiness Comes Before Property Searching#
Most property journeys begin with browsing listings. However, browsing without financial clarity often leads to disappointment or committing to payment terms that strain cash flow.
The BALL Score™ reverses this dynamic: It begins by establishing your true purchasing capacity based on your current savings, cash flow, and timeline.
What Does the Assessment Look At?#
The assessment asks a series of straightforward, practical questions to understand your unique circumstances:
- Your Purchase Timeline: When you intend to take possession—whether immediately, within 6 to 12 months, or over a multi-year horizon.
- Your Starting Deposit: The initial capital you have set aside specifically for down payments and statutory closing fees.
- Your Monthly Sustainable Budget: The amount you can comfortably commit each month without straining household living expenses or business cash flow.
- Your Target Location & Preferences: Your preferred neighborhoods and property configurations.
How Your Results Help You Move Forward#
Once completed, your assessment provides:
- 1Your Readiness Snapshot: A clear score indicating how close you are to completing an acquisition.
- 2A Realistic Price Range: The maximum recommended property value suited to your current financial position.
- 3Practical Next Steps: Specific recommendations—such as strengthening your deposit base, exploring milestone payment plans, or matching with verified properties.
Take the assessment honestly. Using your true discretionary budget rather than optimistic numbers ensures the properties and payment schedules recommended will be comfortable to fulfill.
