Sellers: Know Your
Buyer Market

Before
you start a company, the first thing you
should do is market research to
determine your target market. This
important step will help determine how
successful you ultimately will be. The
same is true when it comes to selling
your home. Understanding the buyer
market and who might be a good fit for
your home will help ensure that you
highlight the most vital features.
"Just like the business of
television advertising commercials, you
need to know who your target audience
is," writes Michael Corbet in his book
Ready, Set, Sold! Before putting
your home on the

market, you should take time to
search for the best REALTOR® to
handle your transaction. Your
agent can help you better

Major Campaign To Extend $8,000 Home Buyer
Tax Credit Underway

The
House and Senate may have left Capitol Hill for
their Summer break, but housing lobbyists are
busy at work gearing up a major campaign to
extend the $8,000 home buyer tax credit.
The credit for first-time purchasers is
scheduled to expire November 30.
The National Association of Home Builders
and the National Association of Realtors want to
persuade Congress to nail down an extension of
the credit, and maybe even broaden its coverage,
as soon as possible.
The home builders are mounting an
aggressive campaign during the congressional
recess. The association is sending out local
teams of members to meet with congressmen and
senators in their home districts, urging not
only a one year extension of the credit, but an
expansion of the concept to cover all home
buyers next year, not just first-timers.

Real Estate Investment 101

It
could be a good time to invest in real estate,
given the abundance of foreclosures and other
distressed properties with reduced prices.
It could also be a bad time to invest in
real estate, if you don't know what you are
doing.
There's the rub.
It's a good time to invest, but it is
difficult. Now when you go out to invest you are
competing with a dozen offers. The investors are
back.
Just like buying a home to live in, taking
the real estate investment plunge requires
taking stock of your financial goals, planning
and lifestyle before taking the plunge.
Pretty much like buying any property.
If you've got the time, the money and the
lifestyle that lends itself to managing a real
estate investment, you are just about half way
there.
However, both halves are pretty big
halves.
The National Real Estate Investors
Association says you've still got a lot of work
to do. Here's how much.
Buy
your own home first.
The general rule of thumb is that buying
your own home will not only put a roof over your
head, but also background
