2009 was another difficult year for many and the housing market struggled as well. But as the year came to an end and the finally reports tallied, it seems there is some light at the end of the tunnel. In comparing 2009 with 2008, we see that the days on market have decreased, and the number of sales have increased. These are positive steps in the right direction. http://www.mris.com/reports/housingsupply/Housing_Supply_Outlook.pdf The tax incentives are still in place for sales from now until April 30th, but don't wait until the last minute. Latest news indicates rates will rise by April - up to 6%. Get in now if you can! Feel free to contact me with any questions.

Selling Your Home: Should
You Lower Your Asking Price?
By Sally Aquire
 Setting the right price is crucial when selling your home. If you overestimate the value of your house, you risk alienating potential buyers who will not be able to afford to buy it. On the other hand, pricing your house at far less than it is worth can leave potential buyers wondering whether it has hidden problems. Having your house professionally valued can help you to set a fair price, but what happens if this price is not fetching any buyers? At this point, homeowners... Read More |
| | What You Need to Know About Buying Short Sales
By John S. James
 "Short Sales" has become the buzzword of success in today's real estate market. In the prevailing economic slowdown, many homebuyers are failing to maintain their loan repayments. As a result, the lender has a choice between initiating a foreclosure proceeding, or letting the property be sold for an amount less than the mortgage against the property. Whenever the lender determines that it may be financially better for them to sell the property rather than opt.... Read More |
| | Snuggling Up to a Stove this Winter?
Courtesy of ARAcontent
 As the mercury drops and days get shorter, you may be snuggling up to a wood-burning stove to keep your tootsies toasty. With today's economy, alternative heat sources may become more popular as people try to minimize gas and electric bills.
While wood-burning and pellet stoves can be quaint and efficient, they can also be dangerous. To avoid injuries and damaged property... Read More |

|  | |  | | How to File for the Latest Homebuyer Tax Credit
By Cheri Dohnal
 The homebuyer tax credit has undergone so many alterations that many people are no longer sure which homes and taxpayers qualify for it. Since it has been extended and expanded for a limited time, it's important that its newest provisions are understood even before the IRS releases the forms to claim it.
Important Tax Credit Updates
The expanded version of the credit is not limited to first-time buyers, although there is still a credit of up to $8,000 offered to first-time buyers. Now there is also a credit for "long-time residents" who buy a new home, and both credits have been extended into 2010... Read More |
| | Indoor Air Quality Concerns?
By Angela Epps
 Air purifiers can help.
They reduce air-born bacteria from mold, fungi and household chemicals found in many cleaners used in day-to-day house cleaning. These pollutants in your home’s air can aggravate asthma, allergies, and sinus problems, especially if your household has children or seniors. The EPA (Environmental Protection Association) estimates that the air inside your home can be up to ten times more polluted than the air outside the house. Along with reducing air-born bacteria, many air purifiers remove irritants such as pet dander, pollen, smoke, and dust (less house cleaning!) from your home’s air and make the air smell cleaner by noticeably reducing odors.
Which air purifier is right for you?
When considering using an air purifier in your home, make sure... Read More |

What to do in a winter wonderland? I thought I would ask for your favorite memories, joys or things to do when it is snowing outside. I am taking advantage of some house chores that have been delayed for far too long and then a time to cuddle with the family to a few classic Christmas movies! Enjoy and stay safe!
