Now is a great time to make home improvements, repairs or take care of past due maintenance. If you are selling your home, improvements will certainly make your home sell faster and for more money. If you’re not selling a home, rebates, lower material and labor costs, and cheap financing provide perfect timing for sprucing up your residence.
Through 2010, homeowners who install energy efficient windows, insulation, roofs, doors or heating and air systems can apply for a 30 percent (up to $1500) tax credit for each product they purchase.
Even better….homeowners can receive a 30 percent tax credit through 2016 (with no spending limits) when they purchase green, energy saving products such as solar systems, geothermal heating pumps, small wind systems, residential fuel cells or micro turbines. For complete details, visit the Energy Stars Federal Tax Credits for Energy Efficiency website.

The Federal government leads us to believe that housing sales (number of units, not prices)will be up at least until April of 2010. But, the Fed, along with other experts, have expressed fear that home sales will dry up after early spring, when the homebuyer tax credits expire and the Federal Reserve ends their policies that are keeping loan rates cheap for borrowers. (Click here to Read the short article.)
What can you Learn from Foresight vs Hindsight this Year?
- To make the most money in 2010…Get your house clean, cleaned out, staged and priced to sell NOW.
- Do not wait until Spring is here to put your home on the market. Do it NOW!
- 90 percent of all home buyers shop on the internet, not newspapers, local or otherwise. If you aren’t marketing your property on all major websites for real estate, buyers will not find your home. There are simply too many homes for sale and buyer’s will not any waste time ferretting out information or for obscurely advertised property.
- Use photographs and video’s to show and sell your home. Add in video or snapshots of the neighborhood, nearby shopping, parks or attractions. Pictures, and especially video, create interest and a glimpse of lifestyle that buyers crave.
- Sell it yourself, but enlist the help of buyers agents. Buyer’s agents use the MLS to find property for their clients. Advertise on the MLS and offer up some commission to them, if they bring you their buyers! Bonus: If you list your home on the MLS, it will immediately stop all annoying listing calls, too.

If you are serious about selling your home, then 2010 is the year for you.
- The decimated housing market is showing signs of stabilization in price and demand. Prices have actually risen for the past 6 months, through October, and overall demand has increased.
- Interest rates are at historical lows, but they have risen a half percent in the last month. Higher interest rates are a big motivator to buy now, as no one expects rates to stay this low going forward.
- The Fed extended the $8000 first-time buyer tax credit and expanded $6500 credit which includes non-first timers. This program certainly helps lure ready-buyers into the marketplace. To qualify all sales must close by June 2010.
- Homes are affordable. In markets like Phoenix, you can buy a home for $800 a month, which makes owning cheaper than renting.
While the news on real estate in 2010 is mixed, and no one is predicting a rebound in housing until 2013, the bear market is definitely in its last innings.
If you have a home to sell, there hasn’t been a better time in years. To succeed, contact Why6Percent.com to advertise your property on the MLS and real estate websites where 90 percent of the buyers are looking. It’s really that simple.

When selling your home for top dollar, it’s crucial that you present your home in its best light. One easy, do-it- yourself way to create interest, while improving flow and uniformity is with the use of baseboard and ceiling trim.
(Chops up the space)
Tip: Avoid chopping up the flow of your home by painting or staining all moldings and baseboard the same color throughout the home.
Tip: Add moldings over windows or doors to provide architectural interest or to draw attention to views.
