Sell Faster: Understand
The Buyers Mindset
When
most sellers list their home for sale
the first thing they think about is how
much will I get and that is usually
followed by how soon will I get the
money. It's certainly understandable
that those two concerns are, most often,
top of mind. After all, you're likely
selling your home to buy another one or
invest the money in something else.
But, if as a seller, you can get
into the buyer's mindset, the sale of
your home can come faster and for more
money.
Understanding the way buyers think
involves seeing things not from your
perspective but from your potential
buyer's mindset.

It can sound easy but
actually it's often harder to do
than most sellers think. The
psychology of buying is driven
by emotional experiences, money,
and timing. With that in mind,
sellers can help create optimal
circumstances that literally
help walk the buyer through the
process and completion of the

Exterior Remodeling Proves Best Bang for Your
Buck
Despite
a slow market and a slight decrease in the
resale value of most remodeling projects,
Realtors® report that the smartest home
improvement investments may also be some of the
least expensive. Results from the 2009
Remodeling Cost vs. Value Report show that
small-scale exterior projects are the most
profitable at resale, according to estimates by
Realtors who completed a recent survey.
On a national level, eight out of the top
10 projects in terms of costs recouped were
exterior replacement projects that cost less
than $14,000. Certain types of door and siding
replacements, as well as wood deck additions all
returned more than 80 percent of project costs
upon resale. A steel entry door replacement – a
new addition to this year’s list – recouped
128.9 percent of costs, followed by

Homebuyer Tax Credit
Boosts Economy
A
new survey reveals that savvy consumers cashing
in on the new and improved homebuyer tax credit
are helping fuel economic recovery.
The vast majority of current homeowners
say they would spend the expanded version of the
homebuyer tax credit on repaying existing debts,
home improvements, savings and investments and
household expenses, according to a National
Association of REALTORS® survey of 1,000
homeowners.
Paying off debts affords consumers more
spending power, home improvements likewise put
more equity money in their pockets and savings
and investments generate income.
Consumer spending, of course, is the real
fuel for the nation's economic engine. And much
consumer spending is fueled by the housing
market -- provided the housing market is
energized.
Helping to energize the housing market and
the economy is the idea behind the homebuyer tax
credit and it's recent extension and expansion.
By October 2009, before President Obama
signed the latest extension and expansion, more
than 1.2 million tax

Love The
House, Hate The Traffic Noise -- There Is Hope!
Depending
on the location, whether you're shopping for a new home
or trying to sell your current residence, one of the
biggest challenges is trying to reduce street noise.
Tony Sola, founder of Acoustics.com cautions
homeowners and buyers about too high expectations when
it comes to reducing traffic noise.
"Too many times I have seen homeowners try to do
something about the noise by adding another layer of
drywall, or something to the wall itself. It's not
minimal return, it's zero return. Unless you control the
weak point, that does nothing," says Sola.
