AND HOW YOU CAN TOO... When you decide to sell your home, you want the highest possible return from its sale. Determining price is the most critical step in preparing your home for sale. Obviously, pricing your property too low won't provide the best return. You are apt to be deluged with lookers and may get many offers, but you could lose thousands of dollars on your family's largest investment. Likewise, pricing a property too high is risky. Homes priced too high miss their target market. Qualified buyers who might find the home just right for their needs won't see your home, or make an offer on it, because it is out of their price range. If they are shown an overpriced home during its early marketing stages and do not buy because it isn't a good value, they are unlikely to revisit y...

Real Estate Sales Strategies... That Work  With the number of bargain properties now available in the local real estate markets, you would think both investors and owner-occupants would be racing to take advantage of all these attractive deals. While many potential homeowners -- especially first-time buyers attempting to take advantage of the federal tax credit -- have re-entered the market and have made compelling offers to purchase homes, investors have been reluctant to capitalize on reverse tax-free exchanges. Nine years ago, the federal government enhanced 1031 delayed exchanges that allow taxpayers to defer the capital gains tax on an investment property if they purchase a "replacement" investment property of equal or greater value within specific time frames. The enhancement, Int...

Why doesn't congress start spreading the wealth around by giving all their money back. Let's tax congress 90% of all the money they make and even the money they steal. You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down.You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.You cannot build character and courage by taking away people's initiative and independence.You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves.William J.

   U.S. Treasuries suffered a setback Thursday when 3rdquarter GDP grew at a stronger-than-expected 3.5% clip.  Economic growth was spurred by construction spending, a slowing of inventory reductions and a huge amount of government stimulus, which could inflate the numbers. Treasuries see-sawed earlier in the week, as traders fretted over supply concerns (all the auctions went well), ups and downs on Wall Street, and good economic news.  Last week also ended the Fed purchase of Treasuries, which was introduced in March to keep mortgage rates low.  Whether the Fed or market conditions made it happen is under debate. Tuesday's unexpected drop in consumer confidence boosted bonds.  It fell to 47.7 from 53.4.  Separately, Case-Shiller reported that home prices in August rose 1.2% in 20 majo...

THOUSANDS OF HOMES.... One Address www.charlesstallions.com Pensacola, Pace and Gulf Breeze Homes for sale   An Article of Interest  If the Great Recession has taught people one thing, it's this: They need to take charge of their finances.  It's a lesson plenty are heeding.  People are saving more and spending less.  The personal savings rate has risen to more than 4 percent after sinking to near zero in the months before last fall's meltdown.  The number of people getting financial counseling is 3.2 million, double the amount two years ago. In ways big and small -- from scrutinizing their bills and joining credit unions to scaling back weddings and college plans -- people are finding creative ways to deal with the worst recession in a generation.  In short, there's a quiet revolution t...

A Helpful Punch List for New Home Buyers in Pensacola and Gulf Breeze Florida Your newly constructed dream house is almost ready and it's time for the all-important walk-through with your builder. Do you know what you should be looking for? Some problems may not be readily visible, even if you hire a professional inspector. Fortunately, most builders offer a warranty to cover problems in the workmanship of a home -- they do not, however, cover problems resulting from owner neglect or faulty maintenance. Still, knowing what to look for in your pre-settlement walk-through is a good way to catch potential problems. Here's a helpful "punch list" to use from the National Association of Homebuilders: Outside Grading: Does the ground around the foundation slope away from the house? Make sure ...

THOUSANDS OF HOMES.... One Address www.charlesstallions.com Sad but true if you're renting, you are buying a home it just belongs to someone else like your landlord. As you know, renting has two big problems - the rent can go up, and you don't have anything to show for it except a pile of rent receipts. Me, I like knowing that every month I'm $50 or $100 richer, no matter what. That doesn't sound like much, but if you saw a $100 bill lying on the ground, you'd sure as heck pick it up, wouldn't you? Owning a home is like that - Uncle Sam gives you such incredible incentives, they're just lying there on the ground, and yet some people step right over them, and never scoop them up. In this article, I will show you in real dollars how you can benefit by owning a home in Pensacola, Pace or ...

Mistake #1 -- Pricing Your Property Too High Every seller obviously wants to get the most money for his or her product. Ironically, the best way to do this is NOT to list your product at an excessively high price! A high listing price will cause some prospective buyers to lose interest before even seeing your property. Also, it may lead other buyers to expect more than what you have to offer. As a result, overpriced properties tend to take an unusually long time to sell, and they end up being sold at a lower price. Mistake #2 -- Mistaking Re-finance Appraisals for the Market Value Unfortunately, a re-finance appraisal may have been stated at an untruthfully high price. Often, lenders estimate the value of your property to be higher than it actually is in order to encourage re-financing...

How to Get Every Dollar You Deserve....By Getting the Full Value of Your House! The ability to reap additional profits on the sale of your home can be accomplished easily enough if you make the right improvements. Many changes can provide the prospective buyer with enhanced feelings about your home. Feelings of more space, more light, more rooms, more closet space, greater privacy, warmth and security. Basic, simple and inexpensive improvements can provide an improved emotional response in a potential buyer. An example could be something as small as a crack in the paint on a wall. Simply by applying some plaster and touch up paint, you eliminated what may be an unstated concern that your home was poorly maintained. Though the feeling may be unconscious, it's just as important that the ...

Why not both... Here are some suggestions to help you prepare for your search. Needs and wants listMake a list of your needs and wants. Do you need an extra bathroom, a garage, a fenced backyard, lower utility bills? Do you want a fireplace, a short drive to work, a lakeside view, or maybe minimal yard work? Once your list is made, go back over it and decide what is most important to your lifestyle. It may be privacy, creativity, or recreation. Decide which items are musts and which you are willing to give up. Assign each item a priority so that you will know what to look for as you begin house hunting. LocationDeciding where you want to live may be the single most important factor in choosing a home. Location affects your day-to-day living. Location to employment centers, shopping cen...

Ok, A lot but well worth the read. Many home buyers are very worried about how their credit report will affect their ability to buy a home. We even heard one story that an applicant was denied a mortgage because he had returned a rented videotape late! Of course, that could never happen. Most people will not need to worry about the effects of their credit history during the mortgage process. However, you can be better prepared if you get a copy of your credit report to review before you apply for your mortgage. That way, if there are any errors you can take steps to correct them before you make your application. If you have had credit problems, be prepared to discuss them honestly with a mortgage professional and come to your application meeting with a written explanation. Responsible ...

Here is the just of it so that Gulf Breeze buyers will at least have something to go by. Don't sweat the small stuff, I will handle it all but have some information is a good thing. An appraisal of real estate is the valuation of the rights of ownership. The appraiser must define the rights he intends to appraise. The appraiser does not create value, the appraiser interprets the market to arrive at a value estimate. As the appraiser compiles data pertinent to a report, consideration must be given to the site and amenities as well as the physical condition of the property. An appraiser may spend only a short time inspecting the property, however, this is only the beginning. Considerable research and collection of general and specific data must be accomplished before the appraiser can ar...

How much you can borrow will depend on your income, down payment, job stability, existing debts, credit references and payment history. Lenders usually use the following two qualifying guidelines to decide how much of a loan you can manage: Your monthly housing expenses - mortgage payment, property taxes, insurance, etc. These expenses should be no more than 28 percent of your monthly gross income. Your monthly living expenses and any long-term debts - utilities, car and school loan, child support, health and car insurance, etc. These expenses should be no more than 36 percent of your monthly gross income.
