Calculating the REAL costs of Home OwnershipHomeowners insurance really depends on the value of your home and belongings, but you might be paying anywhere from $50 to hundreds of dollars a month to ensure that damage, vandalism, burglary, etc. can be repaired and items replaced. So that is something that you might need to calculate paying. Extension of the Home Buyer Tax Credit for SomeThe Home Buyer Tax Credit was created to encourage first-time home buyers to purchase their first home and is calculated as 10% of the home’s purchase price up to $8000. By taking advantage of this tax credit, new home owners now have a financial advantage that can make home ownership that much easier. It’s like having one’s closing costs and taxes for the year paid for with a bit left over. The Booming Business in Backyard Bomb SheltersSince the well before the end of the Cold War in 1991, there has been a greatly reduced interest in building and/or maintaining bomb shelters in most countries unless there is active strife still active, at least until fairly recently. There has been a renewed interest, particularly after the September 11th attacks on the United States, for an updated version of the backyard bomb shelter. Water Heater Replacement: Traditional or TanklessThe downside to a storage water heater is, unfortunately, that in the long run it is more expensive to heat your water this way; the cold water fills the tank, is heated, and then sits in the tank waiting to be used. These tanks are a lot more energy efficient now that the standards are higher and they are much more insulated than they were in years gone by. Make Your New Home SecurePeople are more likely to look out for the property and possessions of friends and friendly acquaintances. Get to know your neighbors as soon as possible to establish friendly relations with them. You may have introduced yourself when you were first home hunting; now is the time to cement neighborly bonds. Invite your neighbors over for a housewarming barbecue or dinner. Are Your Real Estate Listings Full of Glitterary?Buyers don’t need you to tell them that a house is “spectacular, enchanting, charming” or any other adjective. Let them make the decision by providing genuine information and clear, well staged photographs. (Photographs can even sell your listing for you if you do them or have them done professionally.) Let the text be sparing on the adjectives and lavish with the information. Use Neighbors to Help You Scout Potential HomesYou can't always determine whether you'll have problems with a casual conversation, but sometimes people will drop information that can give you warning that they or someone in the neighborhood isn't the best person to share your street with. Altering Real Estate Listings Photos - How Much Is Too Much?Many people see nothing wrong with "removing" clutter or questionable art using image software. The practice of "tidying up" photos is rarely called into question. One might wonder, however, since people will eventually (hopefully) be touring the home, why the owners did not clean and stage the home so such alterations are unnecessary. Philadelphia Condo Record Proves Agents Can SellWhat about people with families who want their children to be close to their chosen school? You can sell the same type of unit to people of many different walks of life by knowing how it can make their lives better, transportation easier and entertaining more fun. What's Your Niche in Real Estate?It opens up your marketing opportunities into the specific demographic you’re targeting and helps establish your position as an expert on your particular focus. Once you become known as someone who can help people who are looking for properties that cater to a specific lifestyle or who are a specialized demographic in and of themselves, you’re on your way to building a solid career in that niche.
