Make Your Home a Welcome Sight

08.07.09 by
Home staging has become a popular industry and topic, particularly as it relates to improving the appeal of your listing during challenging times in the real estate market. But what about “staging” your yard?Sure, any steps that you take to improve your interior’s appeal will go a long way towards wooing buyers, but it’s the outside of your home that they will see first, and you know that first impressions count! Review some of these helpful tips to make your offering an inviting one.

Go green by seeding and fertilizing your lawn for a lush look. Also, bring your home out from hiding by trimming overgrown branches and shrubbery around the house. Give the impression of easy living by hanging a hammock in the front yard. Seriously, little suggestions like that really sink into a buyer’s mind.

Give your flowerbeds and borders more striking visual appeal by applying mulch, and edge the beds and driveway, walkways and sidewalk. Planting annuals such as geraniums and petunias will also add to the impact and brighten up empty areas.

The final step in your outdoor “staging” is to power wash your home’s siding and the sidewalk and patio or deck. When you show pride of ownership and that you care about your home’s presentation, it will resonate with buyers looking for value and a home in ready-to-move-in condition.

Understanding the real estate market and the best solutions are our business, and we’ll happily share our knowledge with you. Why not visit our website or call us at (772) 888-2885.

How Much is Your Love Worth?

06.20.09 by
Okay, so you love that house. But just how much is your love worth? That’s the question that faces every home buyer during any economic season. Sometimes the answer is easy. In hot markets, the answer can be short and sweet: If you have to ask, you can’t afford it. Not too long ago, in the sizzling markets of California, if you even took the time to ask, the property was already gone.
Enter the cooler markets. Today, most markets have a good supply of houses and buyers can take a little time to look for the right house at the right price and make a reasonable offer. Still, how you set the bid for your dream house matters.

Real estate agents make it their business to know what houses sell in neighborhoods and for how much. That’s why asking a real estate agent for a neighborhood market assessment can be such a crucial step in setting your bid price.

Agents will compare the sellers asking price to other homes in the area. Typically in volatile markets, agents will look at selling prices for homes in an area during a two to four-month period. In stable markets, they might use a 12-month standard.
Added to actual sale prices, you can consult Websites such as Zillow or Trulia for a general idea of pricing. Zillow, which does not list houses in every market, gives estimated values for individual properties. Trulia gives estimated home values for neighborhoods. The problem is that no computerized estimate can tell you about the charm of a home ­- or how motivated a seller is.
You can also consider the home’s tax assessment. But this is very often nothing like the whole story since low assessments are rarely challenged.
Even knowing what the seller paid for a home doesn’t tell you much about current property values. It might, however, tell you something about how much equity and emotional attachment the seller has to a home.
Sometimes hiring an appraiser can give home buyers a little comfort since buyers can insist that the house appraises for the asking price.
Nonetheless, even in cool markets, an insultingly low bid on a great house will probably not get you into your dream home since, whether there is a buyer or not, a charming home is still valuable and is worth holding for the right buyer.
Best case: Do your research and trust your real estate expert’s analysis.

Singles qualify for full $8,000 tax credit

05.16.09 by

It’s good news for people who are single, divorced or widowed: They get the same income tax credit when buying a home as married couples do.

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 authorizes a tax credit for up to $8,000 when you purchase a home before December 1 of 2009. Whether the buyer is an individual or a married couple, they qualify for the same amount.

One exception: If the buyer is married and buying a home as an individual, that person only gets a $4,000 tax deduction.

Couples qualify for the tax credit if they have an income of $150,000 or less. A single buyer has to have an income of $75,000 or less. (If their income is higher, they get only a percentage of the $8,000 tax credit.)

Other provisions of the Act: First, you have to be a first-time buyer. If you haven’t owned a home in three years, you qualify as a first-time buyer.

Second, the amount of your credit depends on the price you pay for the home. The credit is 10 percent of the price up to $80,000. If you buy a place for $50,000, for example, you would get a tax credit of $5,000.

If you buy a house for more than $80,000, you will get the $8,000 tax credit rather than 10 percent of the purchase price.

Get your tax refund right away when you buy

You don’t have to wait until you file your 2009 income tax return to get a tax credit and refund. You can file an amended 2008 return and claim the credit now. You will receive a check for $8,000 (or 10 percent of the home’s purchase price up to $80,000) minus any amount still owed on previous years’ taxes.

The Act can also help you save money to buy a home. If you are certain that you will buy before December 1, 2009, you can reduce or eliminate withholding taxes from your paycheck. Save that amount toward your down payment. File a new W-4 at work.
