TIME IS TICKING!
The $8000 tax credit has provided an incentive for many first-time buyers to enter the housing market. Personally, I've had an opportunity to assist five couples with the purchase of their first home this year! Should the tax credit be extended??? I'm curious what readers think!
When Congress passed an $8,000 tax credit for first-time home buyers last winter, it was intended as a dose of shock therapy during a crisis. Now the question is becoming whether the housing market can function without it. As many as 40 percent of all home buyers this year will qualify for the credit. It is on track to cost the government $15 billion, more than twice the amount that was projected when Congress passed the stimulus bill in February. In the view of the real estate industry and some economists, all that money is well spent. They contend the credit is doing what it was meant to do, encouraging a recovery in the housing market that is gathering steam. Analysts say the credit is directly responsible for several hundred thousand home sales. Skeptics argue that most of the money |

Realtor Care Day 2009
The 5th Annual Realtor Care Day took place
on
June 10th. The focus was on Columbus Housing Project's North of Broadway Community (NoBo), located along N. 21st between Mt. Vernon Ave. & E. Long St. Area agents & affiliates spent the day creating a community green space garden & vegetable garden, fence removal/relocation & beautifying various homes in the area.
This was the 2nd year I have served on the CBR committee, and I am so impressed with the dedication of so many individuals who make this event possible. In particular, this year I would like to thank Janet Thiede who volunteered many hours of her time to make this dream a reality. It is very gratifying to be part of this program!

Pleasures of Prescott Place

In February 2009, our team was hired to assist with the marketing of Prescott Place in Marble Cliff, OH. The decision to take on this project was not easy! The housing market was in a free fall and homes in this price range were not selling. The unique charm of this well-designed project combined with the confidence of a talented developer, Joel Pizzuti, convinced us to give it a try.
At the heart of Prescott Place is the historic manor house of Samuel Prescott Bush, great-grandfather of George W. Bush. The beauty, history & intricate craftsmanship of the mansion have been preserved by redesigning it into two homes. Surrounding the manor are 21 stunning homes in the Dutch Colonial style of the original mansion. The common elements of all the homes are superior materials, construction & style.
Of the 23 total units available for sale, nine have sold (including the south side of the manor house), and there are two additional units in contract.
The lesson... QUALITY SELLS... even in a difficult market. Sellers need to take a critical look at their homes and focus on enhancing features that attract buyers. In addition, any property needs to be marketed to the buying public. A good strategic plan can not be underestimated!
