Home Buyer Tax Credit Extended,
Expanded
The
extension of the first-time home buyer
tax credit will help continue to clear
out inventory, but expanding the credit
to include more buyers may not be as
helpful in high-cost housing areas.
President Barack Obama recently
signed legislation that extends the
deadline on the first-time home buyer
tax credit and adds a smaller tax credit
for move-up and other home buyers.
The extension and expansion gives
home buyers a tax incentive to buy a
home until at least April 30, 2010 --
April 30, 2011 for qualifying military
personnel. The previous deadline was
just weeks away, November 30, 2009.

"The extension of the
first-time home buyer tax credit
will be crucial to clearing out
unsold inventory and especially
the lagging bank owned inventory
that has not even hit the market
yet," said Kim

Man's Best Friend May Be Costly When Selling
Your Home
As
beloved as pets may be to sellers they can be a
detriment to the sale of a home.
One of the main reasons has to do with how
convenient it is for buyers to see your home.
There can be issues caused by the pets that make
seeing your home more difficult than viewing
other properties. For instance, if sellers have
to be called first before their home can be
shown this can make it less appealing to buyers
and agents.
"You've got issues of access because you
might have special pet instructions such as
remove pets prior to entering home," says
Benjamin Little, with John Hall & Associates in
Scottsdale, Arizona. He says that makes it so
agents and buyers have to set special
appointments. "And in today's market, anything
that impedes a showing is a hindrance to selling
the house," cautions Little.

Should I Take My Home Off the Market During
the Holidays?
When
you look at your calendar you may find the
months already overloaded with seasonal
obligations -- shopping, entertaining,
children's pageants, charity work, decorating
the house, and so much more. If you are also
trying to sell your home, you are under extra
pressure to keep your home in "showtime"
condition. And that could be the last thing you
need before the holiday spirit is broken.
It is understandable why you would be
tempted to take your home off the market during
the holidays. And the list of justifications is
long. If you are too busy, buyers may be also,
and you may find your efforts unrewarded with
not enough showings. And what if you do get an
offer? You may be faced with the possibility of
packing and moving during the busiest time of
the year. Besides, you can give your house a
rest, and it will have better momentum after the
holidays. Better to just pack it in and start
fresh in January, right?
But wait! Most top Realtors agree that
taking your home off the market during the
Christmas season is a mistake. The house surely
isn't going to sell off the market! What is the
advantage of that? So you're busy. Let your
