**Some of the choices when you're getting started in the home buying process is to buy an existing home, or to buy land and have a house built. As I do this podcast in the spring of 2021, it's still a hot sellers market for the majority of the country. A lot of buyers are getting into bidding wars with other buyers over houses. The price of the home ends up going up higher than the buyer can pay or is comfortable paying.
This can cause buyers to explore the possibility of finding land and having a house built. Whatever your reason is to go looking for land, there are some key points to keep in mind.
We will explore the key points in this podcast, and potential pitfalls to avoid.

In this episode we will go over the extra items that every buyer should know about before, and during the purchase process. How do you know if the home you are buying is in a Superfund site? What the heck is a Superfund site? Do you have health concerns with electro magnetic frequencies? There are many items that are not in the home inspectors job description. If the seller has no idea about them, how do you find out? I will provide tips and ideas that you can add to your list for thinking outside the box during your search for a new home.

In this episode I have a conversation with home inspector Scott Gray from Arizona Home Inspections. Scott has inspected over 5,000 homes in 6 years, and shares some of his knowledge of what he has learned, and what buyers and sellers should be aware of. I tried to fit all the questions my clients usually have asked me over time regarding home inspections. If you are a buyer this episode should help you know what to look out for when looking at homes for sale. If you are a seller then it might give some ideas of what to take care of before your home goes on the market.
