I Need Help About Buying My First Home From A Builder?

We put a contract on a house and will be closing on it next week. The builder excepted our offer and agreed to put a hardwood floor down in the foyer where we requested it. It was previously carpet and we didn’t want to track dirt in from the front door or garage door there. After that they said they would need a deposit for the flooring so that they would not lose any money if we backed out of the contract. They stated that the deposit would be given back at closing. Okay, so we get an addendum to the contract yesterday. Our original offer was $161,500 and that would include them installing the hardwood in the foyer. They excepted that offer. Now the addendum to the contract states the new sales price as $162400 to account for the $900 deposit I sent in to secure the floors. In the addendum states, they will credit our money back at closing. But, something is not adding up to me. The new sales price is S162,402. Okay, if they refund my $900 at closing. Doesn’t that mean that I would have to put that $900 that I paid out of my pocket back on the loan to get the sales price back to $161,502? So, really am I paying for the hardwood floors in the end?

I Took A New Job And Need Some Advice, Can You Help?

Now I have never been in sales before and I wanted give it a shot. I figured, hey, nothing like a new challenge to stroke the comedic gray matter. But I have no idea how to sell anything, much less USED CARPETS! Does anyone have any sales tips?

Help, I’m So Stressed And Worried About My Kids?

Ever since I had my 2 daughters, 3 yrs old and 9 months old, I worry about everything. I don’t know how to relax. My latest worry is that we had new carpet installed in our living room and I had no idea that it is really bad for our health. Apparently there is formaldehyde in the carpet and it ‘off gases’ into the air. I’ve heard that it can do this for a long time, like months or even years. So I’m exposing my babies to this crap? I don’t know what to do…my husband told me to calm down and it’s not going to hurt them but I’m worried. We didn’t buy a high quality carpet…just something on sale at a carpet warehouse. What should we do? I can’t just up and move, but I’m so stressed out about this. I’ve heard it can cause long term damage…any advice? Will this carpet really harm my girls?
