Pent Up Demand for Housing Explodes This Spring

Tuesday, February 16, 2010 posted by tommi

Depending on where you live, you may have never experienced a winter like this one.  I know I haven’t.  Week after week, snow, rain, mudslides and/or freezing temperatures have pounded the country.  With only 1 state out of 50 snowless, it’s easy to see why no one is attending Open Houses… Fortunately,  with February nearly over,  the crocus will soon appear and we predict that homebuyers will hit the streets enmass.  

Home Sellers Get Ready.  The nasty, record setting winter certainly put a halt to home sales, but the upside is the pent up demand it created.  People who expected some typical, nice days to tour homes after the holidays, have  found themselves stuck inside with nothing to do but watch HGTV and dream about buying a home.  We predict these stir crazy buyers will hit the streets at the first opportunity. 

$8000 Reasons to Motivate this Spring.   The $8000 tax credit for homebuyers expires in 43 Days.   To cash in on the lucrative tax credit, buyers must be under contract for a home before April 1st or they forfeit $8000 grand!!  That’s a lot of motivation to get serious in a hurry.

Cheap Money.   The Fed and Mortgage Bankers all acknowledge that interest rates will increase this spring and continue moving upward through 2010.   Buyers know that if they snooze they lose the chance to lock in a cheap, fixed rate loan and risk pricing themselves out of their dream home, entirely.

Get Ready. Get Set.  Sell.  Home sellers should prepare for a surge in buying activity this spring that has not been seen in several years.   Make every second count now by deciding on your selling strategy.  Agent? FSBO? FSBO, combined with the power of the MLS?  Whichever you chose or want to pay for,  make sure you use the internet for all it’s worth.  And, get to  know your local home market like the back of your hand.   

Why6Percent.com will make sure you are ready when the buyers show up.   Place your property on InfoTube.net for FREE exposure to thousands of buyers each week.  Advertise your home listing to every buyers agent and on every real estate website with our cheap, flat fee MLS listing, and keep the commission.  Either way you chose, act now.  You can’t afford to wait until the buyers are looking.   This is what you’ve been waiting for.

Free Cash & Reduced Costs for Home Improvements

Monday, February 8, 2010 posted by tommi

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.

6 Reasons to Sell Your Home During the Holidays

Wednesday, November 11, 2009 posted by tommi

thanksgiving-table.jpg

I’m thinking Turkey.  The leaves have fallen, lawn mowers are stored and furnaces are in use.   It’s at this time of year that many of our customer’s ask…  “Should We Take Our Home Off the Market During the Holidays?”

The answer is definitely ”NO”.  There are a lot of reasons to keep your home listed right through the New Year.  And, there’s an especially, timely reason this holiday season!!

  1. The First Time Buyers Tax Credit has been extended until April 30, 2010 AND it’s been expanded.  Step Up Home Buyers, who make a lot of money, can also receive $6500 in Tax Credits until April.   Big tax incentives mean that smart buyers will be house shopping vs mall shopping this holiday season.  
  2. Interest Rates are at Record Lows.  30 year fixed rate mortgages are below 5 percent.  But, with the dollar weak and falling, low rates may not be around for long.   Serious home buyers are aware of the difference that even a small interest rate increase would make in their house payment.  The combo of Tax Credits and Low Interest Rates create strong urgency among buyer’s.  Smart seller’s spruce up their homes and play into the pressure.
  3. Holiday Shoppers are Serious Buyers.  Trust me.  Everyone of us loves the holidays. The people who are looking for homes in November, December and January are SERIOUS Buyers.  Do you really want to pull your house off the market when the most serious people are shopping??
  4. Less Competition.  Many sellers don’t read our blog.  They foolishly pull their homes from the market during the holidays, and this year will be no exception.  Less competition could make the difference between For Sale and Sold, this Christmas. 
  5. Houses are Pretty during the Holidays.  Staging your home is easy during the holidays.  The mood is festive.  Holiday colors are warm and inviting.  Candles, centerpieces and decorations touch the heart and convey a peaceful lifestyle.  Light the candles, make a roaring fire, bake some goodies and turn on some relaxing holiday music.  Buyer’s love to see a home decorated and looking special.  Don’t let this once a year opportunity pass you by.
  6. Curb Appeal.  If your landscape and lawn isn’t that great, breathe a sigh of relief that no one else’s is this time of year, either.   Add seasonal color, a wreath, perhaps some decorations.  Just keep it subtle and classy.  No mowing, no weeding and trimming, and best of all snow covers all…

Thank you for visiting Why6Percent.com  Our MLS and Realtor.com advertising packages reach 10 million serious home shoppers each month.  If your home isn’t listed on the dozens of websites in our program, then you’re home isn’t really on the market.  Get serious about selling and call us at 1-800-381-9496 today.

Moving Scams, Cons and Thefts at Record Levels

Tuesday, November 10, 2009 posted by tommi

movers-con.jpg

BEWARE:   Moving company scams, thefts and frauds are bold, brazen and at a record levels.  Bottom feeder scum bags, with 2 assets…a back and a truck, are preying on thousands of unfortunate people being forced to move.

Watch Out.  The “moving” con artist generally targets the most vulnerable among us.  Their primary victim is the internet price shopper, who enters personal information on ‘moving quote’ type website, promising to provide the lowest, legitimate price or quote for a move. moving-scam.jpg

Devastating like Fire.  Victims report horror stories that range from being extorted out of thousands of dollars to get their belongings off loaded, to even more disturbing reports that some families lost every possession, family photo, etc. that they owned, when the moving truck never showed up at the destination, ever.  

What possibly disturbs me the most, is that like the con artist who  sells “cures” to the dying, stealing what little they have left, the majority of moving scam victims are in the same boat.  They are being forced to move due necessity,  job loss, foreclosure, overall affordability, health problems, old age, wage cuts, etc.   

ACTION:  If you have been a victim of a moving scam or moving quote website, report this crime to MOVING SCAM.COM IMMEDIATELY!!  The website has a single complaint form that they file with various legal and reporting agencies.  In addition, victims can print copies of the compliant form to provide to local police and state authorities. 

Advise:  Search MovingScam.com before you become a victim.  The site also provides great infomations including moving company reviews, helpful links and a consumer forum.
