And, contrary to popular opinion, this method of buying doesn' t sit well with reputable home builders. Too many people later regret this type of purchase. Many people spend only two or three hours selecting a home on their first visit to a site before coming back a second time to sign on the dotted line.

Word of mouth is the best, advertisement for their, or worst products.

Established builders want satisfied customers. So if you are buying a new home for the first or even the second time how should you go about it in today's torrid market? Check with the municipality. Look at the community. Knock on doors of people who have already bought homes in the subdivision. Go there and, knock on doors, again. If it is a brand new subdivision where houses have not yet been built, locate a subdivision previously constructed by your builder.

It is important that purchasers check with the municipality before signing on the dotted line. Inspectors usually know the location of subdivisions previously constructed by the builder and will also tell you what amenities are available near your new home and the zoning for adjoining land. Building department inspectors can provide them with a lot of information. Are there schools nearby? Inspectors can tell you. What type of recreation and shopping is available or planned?

Taking a little time will save you from some nasty surprises. In the past few years there has been a large increase in builders entering the Metro scene to cash in on a lucrative market. Choosing your builder is important. One reason for today's panic buying is the fear that prices will increase if a purchaser delays making an offer. It is always good to discuss your builder's offer with lawyers so they know what they are getting into. There is no need to panic. Choose lawyers who specialize in real estate.

Buying a home is the most important investment most people will make and buying the right home will maximize that investment. All this is good, solid advice. Take your time- you' re not buying patio furniture.
