One of the first mistakes first time home buyers make, is to try and buy to MUCH home. As a first time home buyer you may qualify for a lot more home than you need to buy. I advise my clients to buy a home that fits their needs and still allows them to have a quality of life. You need to have a balance between monthly payments of your new home and the quality of life you want to live.  Take into account all of your monthly outflow of cash of all of your bills.  If you the max amount you where qualified for you might not be able to have cable TV, Internet, new blinds or be able to the furniture you want in your new home... You need to ask yourself "how much do I want to afford" and come up with a plan BEFORE you start looking for that new home. Check out these sites: http://nhl.gov/buyin...

Looks like it will be a perfect time for this weekends Pearland's 2010 Winterfest. No doubt it will feel like Winter with the freezing temperatures.  My son Jayden and I have gone to the Pearland Winterfest the last couple of years.  Honestly, I can't wait to go back this year!

The vote is in!  The Alvin ISD bond election has passed.   Early voting showed 60% of voters in favor of the bond, which will provide funds for a third elementary school in Shadow Creek Ranch, Pearland.  Alvin ISD has also purchased land for a third high school to be built near the Pearland Towne Center on Broadway.  Even with current economic conditions, Alvin ISD is still growing in subdivisions along the 288 corrider ( Rodeo Palms, Southfork and Sedona Lakes in Manvel and Shadow Creek Ranch and Southern Trails in Pearland).  One reason for the growth is most likely the area's convenient access to Houston, specifically the Medical Center.   For all Brazoria County election results go to http://thefacts.com/index.lasso.
