HAPPY HOLIDAYS...GET INSPIRED FOR A GREAT 2010!

Every year at this time I get choked up while looking back at all the great things that have happened this year.  Wow, despite all the bad news and tough times, it's always amazing how many unexpected wonderful experiences have occurred-especially the ones that didn't cost a dime.  I truly hope the same has happened for you.

It looks like 2010 will be filled with lots of new adventures, trips, experiences and challenges-I just love it!

I hope you will be able to sit down with your hopes and dreams and take the time to reflect-even just for a few moments.  It's certainly a rare treat for me, as it probably is for you in this busy city!  There is so much opportunity out there and inspiration will help you get closer to it!  Just think-there's always alot to look forward to...a new baby, a new travel experience, a promotion, a marathon, achieving a big personal challenge, a new book...even a new home.  I know, I couldn't resist the last one! 

As always, we are here for you..no matter what you need!

I raise my glass in a toast...to you!

Here's to an AMAZING 2010...may it be everything you HOPE AND DREAM about!  

Is Buying on YOUR MIND?

If the idea of buying has crossed your mind recently, you will want to know this important information!

 

Interest rates are expected to rise in March 2010, possibly as much as a full 1% - which will change your purchasing power or monthly costs for the same property about 9%.

 

As you probably know, the first time home buyer tax credit has been extended until April 2010- this means you must identify a property by April 30th and close by June 30th 2010.  By doing your research and identifying a property before the end of February, you have plenty of time to close and overcome all the bank delays to keep you qualified for this program.  It's taking weeks longer to obtain a loan these days, so I'd hate for you to miss out because you are passed the cutoff date!  For more info see: http://www.federalhousingtaxcredit.com/faq1.php

 

Also, since winter is the least popular time to look for property, there are many price reductions and great values out there...and guess who can help you find them?

 

If you or anyone you know is looking to benefit from this and are getting married, having a baby, looking to own instead of rent, and feel confident with their employment, have them call me. This is a great time...to BUY.
