BuilderBooks, the publishing arm of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB), released a new edition of its popular home buying resource, Buying Your New Home: A Guide to Home Buying, Second Edition.

Buying a new home is one of the biggest investments a consumer will make in their lifetime. There are a lot of things to know during the buying and construction process, and builders can help their clients make this process easier by sharing this important resource. Buying Your New Home: A Guide to Home Buying, Second Edition, serves as a third-party tool that housing professionals can share with clients to walk them through the steps of the construction process with clarity and confidence.

“This new publication is an invaluable tool for building professionals to share with their current and prospective clients to walk them through all the ins and outs of buying a new home,” said NAHB Chairman Bill Owens, a home builder and remodeler from Worthington, Ohio. “Educating buyers during the process will help builders improve customer satisfaction, drive referrals, and increase sales.”

This essential guide takes the guesswork out of one of life’s biggest investments. Inside, readers will find:

• Practical advice for selecting a builder, architect and community

• Tips for designing and customizing a new home
