Don't discount the tax credit yet!

Last week, after the Senate gave its final and fully supportive approval on the homebuyer tax credit extension, the House of Representatives voted overwhelmingly to pass the legislation, sending the tax credit to President Obama who's final sign-off on Friday made it official.


The $8,000 first-time homebuyer tax credit, which was slated to expire Nov. 30, 2009, will be extended for contracts signed before May 1, 2010 that close before July 1, 2010.



First-time buyers, who are in the process of closing now, no longer have to worry about qualifying for the $8,000 tax credit if they do end up closing after the Nov. 30 deadline.

The new legislation also increases the income limit for couples with income up to $225,000, a nearly $55,000 increase above the current level.


Buyers who already own a home are also now eligible for a tax credit and the purchase of a home. The $6,500 maximum credit will be available to existing homeowners who have lived in their current residence for five of the prior eight years.



The legislation does set forth several provision including, limiting eligibility for existing homeowners to homes worth $800,000 or less, as well as making both credits available only for primary residences, not second homes or investment properties. The legislation will take effect November 7, 2009 and is not retroactive.

So I recently took a two day class to get my license in Home Staging!! I loved the class. It gave me so much valuable information to share with our Sellers! The tools that we can now offer our Sellers WILL HELP SELL THEIR HOMES FASTER!!!! And isn't that the point :)

On the second day of class we were able to put our education into practice, and it was A LOT of hard work, but very rewarding to see the end results. Check out the Photos below!
The class was broken up into teams and every team was given a room to work on. My team worked on the Living Room. We had a ZERO dollar budget and worked with what this gentlemen had within his home.

Let me know what you think! (warning.... I have been working forever to get these titles to line up with the photos, but as you can see.... No Such Luck :( so hopefully you can figure out the Before/After photos !!)
