Why Hasn't my House Sold Yet???

...Well there are 4 Prongs to getting a home sold: Price, Condition, Location, Marketing.
1. Pricing your home correctly is more important than ever in this market. It is still a buyer's market so attracting more qualified buyers is crucial. You will have missed opportunities if your home is overpriced for your neighborhood. Now with all of the mortgage reform, the price of the home must pass the appraiser...their processes and standards have become much more stringent.
2. Condition...There are many homes on the market today so yours must win the beauty contest to be sold. The home must have great curb appeal, be clean and uncluttered, and staging doesn't hurt either.
3. Location...this is one of those things that we can't change but directly effects whether or not someone will be attracted to your home...next to a busy street, power lines, landfill...whatever someone might not find appealing.
4. Marketing...In addition to your agent putting your home in the local Multiple Listing Service, your home should be advertised in at least 30 different internet listing portals, great photos, and perhaps a virtual tour.

8K Tax Credit - Time is Running Out!

If you are a first time home buyer or have not owned a home in the past three years, you should be able to take advantage of the $8000 tax credit. There are a few guidelines that go along with this credit. The credit is 10% of the price of the home and not to exceed 8,000 dollars, personal income should be $75K per year or less/$150K per year for married couples or less AND you must live in the home for at least 3 years after purchase in order to NOT have to pay the credit back.

The big takeaway for the moment is that time is getting short! You must close on your home by November 30,2009 to be able to file for this credit on your income tax forms.
Interest rates are low and home prices are still affordable so don't wait to find and purchase your home if you don't have to.

Buying a Home in San Antonio VS Renting

Many would be home buyer's are sitting on the fence in a rented home or apartment thinking they should wait until the economy gets better before buying a house....well I think they should be more educated about their concerns.
Waiting because of a fear of loss or reduction in income stream is the only valid reason I can think of for waiting.
With property values steady and interest rates still low, the possibilities of a mortgage payment being the same as or about the same as a rental payment are quite good.
Running a rent vs buy comparison, most people are way ahead of the financial game by buying a home and having that investment as the years pass...and they have an asset they can sell at the end of those same years of money out the window...make sense?
