I am looking for a NEW home. What do I need to do to get myself ready financially (besides pulling my credit score). What pitfalls should I look for when trying to purchase a new home? Anyone know good programs for first-time buyers?

Many states offer incentives in the way of low interest and/or no down payment loans for first time home buyers. Your real estate agent should be familiar with these programs and can walk you through the process.
A word of advice, since this is your first home, chances are that you will build as much equity as you can and move up in the future. It is important that you fall in love with the deal and not with the house. I know that buying your first house is an emotional experience, but try to maximize the financial opportunities it presents.
Good luck with your new home purchase.
