Hoschton, GA

Buying your first home can elicit many feelings; Excitement, Joy, Happiness, Elation, Wonder, Anticipation, Stress and Regret. Not always in that order. When our feelings control our thoughts which in turn control our beliefs,it eventually becomes the truth. This major purchase will be one of the biggest financial investments that most people will make in their life. There are two times through the buying process 1st time home buyer's can battle remorse. When they have an executed contract and after they leave the closing table. Here are 5 steps to avoid this from happening.

1. Prayer
2. Council
3. Get Pre-Approved
4. Have A Budget
5. Surrender The Outcome

Prayer is the first thing you should do. That's right I said prayer and some of you may not understand so I will just speak about the practical application. Praying will give you pause during an emotional time allowing you to think clearly about the task at hand. Visiting the house will allow you time to experience the lifestyle in the neighborhood. The more time you are able to spend the more familiar everything will become. No surprises.

Council will help you express your feelings and thoughts. You may have family that is helping you with your purchase. Do not be afraid to tell them your fears and your wants. Your Realtor is also one to speak with about any concerns or questions you will have.

Get Pre-Approved or even approved for a loan should be done before you even start looking at properties. How can you look at homes unless you know how much you can spend. A professional salesmen will insist you get pre-approved before you can start. Knowledge is power and in this case it will guide you to the home you can afford. Don't resist this step it will save you heart ache in the end.

Have A Budget This step is tied to getting pre-approved in importance. You must have you expenses accounted for. How can you know how much home you can afford if you don't have your expenses under control. Manage your money well and you will have no concerns about your purchase. You will be well within your means.

Surrender The Outcome is the last step and by far not the least. If you have followed the other steps then you can rest in your decision. "Remember the Lord in all you do and he will give you success" proverbs 3:6.

Follow these steps to let the truth guide your beliefs which form your thoughts that express feelings. instead of the other way around.

I grabbed this off a press release but it's true. If you've ever been to the Village at Deaton Creek in Hoschton, GA, you'll know why people are flocking there.

Pulte Homes (NYSE: PHM) is pleased to announce that Metrostudy has named the Village at Deaton Creek by Del Webb Metro Atlanta's top selling community for 2007 in its fourth quarter report for 2007. Metrostudy is a housing market research firm that is the leading provider of real estate and related market information in the country. Metrostudy provides primary and secondary market information to the housing and related industries nationwide.

Del Webb attributes its successful year to three key factors - the reputation as the nation's leader in active adult lifestyle communities for more than 47 years, the large base of baby boomer households in Atlanta, and the community's entire $10 million amenity package being fully functional.

Atlanta is in line with national trends that point to baby boomers as the fastest growing population and household segments. According to the US Census Bureau, there are over 530,000 households in the Atlanta market that are 55 and over. That is nearly 30% of all households in the Atlanta area. "We see a majority of our customers coming from the Atlanta area. Baby Boomers are one of the largest groups in the market, and they have significant buying power," says Cooper. This group also represents the largest growing segment in the market - by 2011, it will account for nearly 700,000 households. In fact, one in five metro Atlanta residents will be 60 or older by 2030.

The 35,000 square foot Club at Deaton Creek amenity center opened its doors in the summer of 2007, and the final phase of Village at Deaton Creek's amenities opened on schedule in December, just a year from the first homeowners moving in. Cooper notes, "The lifestyle is in full swing, so customers can envision themselves living in the community." Situated in Hoschton, near Chateau Élan, Village at Deaton Creek offers a full-time lifestyle director, 35,000 square foot clubhouse, miles of walking trails, a tennis complex, bocce ball courts, a dog park, and softball.

Cooper adds, "Being only 40 miles north of Atlanta, we offer our customers the opportunity to downsize and stay close to their family and friends, plus immediate access to a highly social and highly amenitized lifestyle."
