Time is Running Out

Since Congress passed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act earlier this year, many would-be homeowners have seized the opportunity offered by the $8,000 first-time buyer tax credit. However, the ability to utilize this credit will not be available much longer.
To receive the tax credit, a first-time buyer must purchase and close on a principal residence before Dec. 1, 2009. Since closing on a home generally takes anywhere from 45-60 days, that leaves prospective buyers a little more than a month to take advantage of this financial opportunity.
"It's hard to imagine a better time than right now to be a first-time buyer," said Jim Weichert. "Mortgage rates and home prices are all favorable, recent economic news is encouraging and the government is providing a large financial incentive. If I was a first-time buyer I wouldn't let an opportunity like this slip through my fingers."

Sellers: Small Improvements Make a Big Difference

The real estate market has begun its rebound, and with it has come an increase in homebuyer activity. Adding to the renewed interest are many first-time buyers looking to take advantage of the $8,000 tax credit before it expires on December 1.
A well-cared-for home with memorable details speaks for itself. Sellers looking to make their home stand out can make a few small enhancements that won't cost a lot of money, but will help catch a buyer's eye and could lead to an offer.
Here are a few areas where it may make sense to spend a little remodeling money:
  • Create a finished look by adding crown molding, wider baseboards and/or decorative framing around doors.
  • Add better insulation, caulking and energy efficient appliances which are popular with buyers.
  • Freshen up the walls with a new coat of neutral-color paint. Faux finishes or accent walls can add pizzazz when colors and textures with mass appeal are chosen.

Appeal of a Smaller Home

Statistics from the National Association of Homebuilders show that the square footage of homes has shrunk in recent years. This is a trend that is likely to continue given the current economy.
This may be an opportune time for owners of smaller homes to sell, according to a recent article published in Realty Times, which provided these tips for giving a small home big appeal to buyers:

  • Accentuate storage space. A buyer must sense that a smaller home has enough storage space to accommodate their everyday needs. Clear out the attic and/or basement if the home has them. In addition, built-in furniture or custom closets also provide convenient, hidden storage.

  • Create an office niche. Home offices are very popular, but a smaller home might not have an extra room to use for this purpose. Using a decorative screen around a small desk or tucking one away beneath a staircase shows buyers how they can still have a home office in a small space.

  • Make the most of space. In the kitchen, clear appliances from the counters and mount them under the cabinets for a clutter-free look. Avoid crowding a small living room with an oversized couch, and instead consider several comfortable chairs that may fit better and open up the room.
