When you shop for a stereo, you go to the store an look at stereos. If you want to buy new shoes, you head to a shoe store. But when you start thinking about Buying a Home, if your first stop is viewing homes, you're setting yourself up for a less than ideal situation. Here's why.

The real Step 1 of Buying a Home is to consider what you want and need in a home. Consider the shoe example again. If you set out looking for shoes, it's likely you've already considered what color and style you need. Is there an outfit you're trying to coordinate with? What purpose will these shoes play in your wardrobe? It's alright once in awhile to buy shoes on a whim then realize later it wasn't a smart buy. But buyer's remorse for a house is something altogether different. Think soberly about what your needs and wants are, from home to neighborhood to school district to commute, and more. It's too easy to get caught up in the emotion of a home if you haven't set the ground rules for what you will or will not consider.

Step 2 of Buying a Home is to get a good coach for your team by meeting with and hiring a Real Estate Agent who serves as your Buyer's Representative. If you skipped this and went straight to looking at houses, chances are good you are seeing the home with a Seller Representative. When you call the agent listed on a real estate sign, that person already has a contract with, and a loyalty to, the seller of the home. You want someone who will be loyal to YOU!

Step 3 of Buying a Home is to meet with a mortgage lender. By talking with a loan officer BEFORE you shop, you gain the upper hand in negotiations because you will know how much you can afford, what your payments will be, how high you are comfortable going on sales price, how much you need in closing costs, and you know you will be able to close more quickly and give the seller more confidence in your buying position than a competing buyer who has not yet taken these steps. Plus, by getting the mortgage ball rolling early, you can relax while home shopping and not stress about "I hope I can afford this house" but instead focus on homes you know you can afford.

Armed with the knowledge of what you want & need, the partnership of a great buyer's agent, and a loan pre-approval, you're ready to look at homes.

Major court cases in an ongoing Chinese manufactured drywall situation have yet to deal with medical or health-related claims. Neverthless in the the past month there has been a several news stories about Chinese drywall-related health fears.

In one instance, the U.S. Army is looking into the possibility that drywall may have contributed to the death of an infant child at Fort Bragg, N.C., according to Raleigh-Durham television station WTVD "Fort Bragg investigating infant deaths. Army investigators are examining ten infant deaths in Fort Bragg base housing, all classified as "sudden infant death syndrome" (SIDS) fatalities, and are trying to determine whether any aspect of base housing may have been a contributing factor in the deaths. Parents of three of the infants told the station that they believe Chinese drywall may have been to blame. Father of one victim, said the Army gave him several different test reports: "One shows two pieces of drywall from their home which tested positive for Chinese drywall - giving off gases at levels higher than a positive control sample." But a different test, for elemental sulfur within the actual board, came back within normal limits, the station reports "New information in Bragg baby deaths".
