You are ready to find your perfect home and sitting down with the realtor for the first time, he/she hands you a stack of MLS sheets (multiple listing system).  Wow so many beautiful homes to look through.  But as you scan the sheet you notice all these acronyms.  The cute little house on the CLDSC has 3BR and 2.5 BA, with a ISLKT, PTSLB, UTINS, DTCHD & HVCMP.  What the heck!?! 

You stare at your realtor wondering if she realized that you were looking for a home or trying to teach you texting?  I thought you might like a very short list from a very long list of acronyms used in the real estate world.  Don't feel shy, believe me there are realtors who have been in the business forever that will shake their heads and shrug when you ask them what PLHTD means?

CMTFB - Cement Fiber

4SDMS - 4 Sides Masonry

ASBSH - Asbestos Shingles

HVCMP - Heavy Composition roof

WDSHN - Wood Shingles

CONCR - Concrete

ATT - Attached Garage

DTCHD - Detached garage

CRCLR - Circular Drive

CONVRT - Converted Garage

UPDR - Unpaved Drive

ADJPL - Adjoining pool and Spa

IGP - In-ground pool

 PLHTD - Heated Pool

AGP - Above Ground Pool

PTSLP - Patio Slab

DK/BL - Deck/Balcony

CH/BW - Chain Link/Barbed Wire

WRGHT - Wrought Iron Fence

EIK - Eat-in-kitchen

ISLKT - Island Kitchen

UTINS - Utility Room Inside

PTSLB - Patio Slab

There are a lot more, believe me, but your realtor will be able to answer the more commone ones for you and be able to find out what the others mean.

Be Pre-Approved.  There is nothing worse then spending the day looking at homes, finding the perfect one and then finding out that you don't qualify.  So first things first, call your lender, get pre-approved and let your realtor know what your price range will be. 

Be Ready and Be On Time.  Your realtor has had to  make appointments for each and every home you will see.  Even though they usually put a window of an hour on up to 4 homes, this is to help with traffic and the possiblity that you are really going to like one home and want to spend more time in it, but still be able to see the other homes on your list. If you don't like the home, move on, it won't hurt your realtors feelings if you only spend 5 minutes in a house.

Don't Dress to Impress.  You will be climbing in and out of a car all day, not to mention walking the property inside and out.  Wear comfortable shoes and clothes that if you get down on your hands and knees to look more closely at something, you will not have to worry. Not to mention the stairs you might be climbing.

Check the Neighborhood out as You Drive in.   Did you notice how far you are from the school, parks, shopping?  Are you too close to traffic, are you close enough for easy access to where you want to go?  Do you like rural, do you like suburbs, do you like urban living, does the area fit your needs?  How's the commute to work?  Do you feel crowded by the other homes?  Remember the outside is just as important as the inside, and the area is where you are going to be living.

Whew! What's That Smell!   Is there a bad odor inside or out.  Do you feel like they bought every bottle of potpourri at the grocery store?  Beware that these smells may mold or mildew, but more like it is covering up smoke or animal odors.  The latter two can be minimized with a good thorough cleaning, but Mold & Mildew is whole other matter.   This is where your inspector will come in and help you make a good decision.

Last But Not Least.  Listen to your Realtor, you have chosen them for a reason, they know the area, they know your needs (hopefully), they know the market. 

Good Luck on Your New Home Search!

Have you been thinking you would love to add on to a room or adding another room then please take a moment to consider the following:

1. Do you really need an addition?  Why do you need this additional room or space?  Just because you need more room is not a good reason, decluttering and better organization could solve that problem.  Think long term, do you need a family room for your growing family needs, do you need quiet space for yourself, is the kitchen just too small for practical flow or are you tripping over each other in the bathroom? I am sure you can think of more great reasons.

2. Make your addition flow with the rest of the inside and outside of your home: You will need to make the exterior blend with the older part of the home this includes exterior materials as well as style.  You don't want someone to be able to drive up and tell immediately that you have added on not to mention you want the flow of your existing home to not be interrupted by the new addition.

Please do not forget to keep your interior design consistent.  You do not want people to walk in and be able to tell where the old stops and the new starts.  Keeping the same flooring, wall texturing, archetectural design will help the inside stay true to the original design. 

3. Are you thinking of adding a 2nd floor, a basement, or going out from the existing slab?  Look for a great contractor, designer and/or possibly an architect to make sure your home can support a 2nd floor.  Adding on to the slab and roof line can be researched and handled with your contractor and/or architect.

4. Does your new addition fit where it sits:   Do you have to walk through a weird hallway, go through another room, is the room in an odd place to the whole design or is the access to the 2nd story or to the basement seem inconvenient or difficult to navigate,  then you have just lowered the value of your home. 

5. Keep your lot spacious: Be careful to not add so much home that you crowd out your lot and lose precious real estate.

7. Follow the Rules:  Be sure and check with your county, city and Homeowners Association to find out what the rules and regulations that you will need to following while adding your addition.  And make sure that you have received all your permits before you start your project.  Things to find out about are zoning, property line setbacks, architectural requirements to name a few.

8. Last by not Least:  Don't overbuild for your area and be careful to not overdo it on the style or materials you use that will price you right out of your neighborhood. 

Remember this is your home, make it comfortable for you, with an eye to the future.

Moving to Louisiana after high school graduation, she worked in the manufacturing industry for many years. During these years, her childhood interest in art found expression through drawing and painting. In 1987, after completing studies in Graphic Arts at the Shreveport-Bossier Technical Institute, she worked in the commercial printing industry for 12 years.

As a Printmaker, Vicki's prints have won several awards. She has shown locally at galleries including Bluestar Satellite Space, UTSA Art Gallery, Stone Metal Press and Justice Works Studio.

The Home Buyer's Tax Credit recently expired for first time home buyer's but it is still available uniformed  services of the U.S military, members of the Foreign Service of the U.S., or employees of the intelligence community who are actively serving outside of the U.S. on official extended duty.

The Homebuyer's Tax Credit of up to $8,000 for first-time buyers and up to $6,500 for certain repeat buyers has been extended one year for the above groups.  The rules are that the buyer must be under contract by April 30, 2011 and closed by June 30, 2011.

This can be a very attractive deal for our military when you combine it with the VA on qualified military personnel to purchase certain homes in certain areas with no money down and no private mortgage insurance.

The rules are little different for the military then they were for civilians.  The rules for first time home buyers is the same in that you can not have owned a home in the last 3 years, but the maximum price for a home can be $800,000.  If you buy something for more then that price it will make the tax credit invalid.  The credit phases out for individual taxpayers with modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) between $125,000 and $145,000 or between $225,000 and $245,000 for joint filers.

The $6,500 dollar credit to current homebuyers, the military personnel must have lived in their home for 5 out of the last 8 years along with the salary and home cost as if you were a first time homebuyer.  

Thank you to everyone in the military!
