Big Changes for First Time Homebuyers & Tax Credits
First Time Homebuyer?  Wondering About home buyer tax credit?  Things to Know When Buying!

The last few years have been a great time to buy your first house.   Several reasons all came together at the same time:

1) Home prices plummeted.  After a big mania, housing prices fell back to the low end of the “Up-Down-Up” curve.  Since real estate has historically always gone higher each decade, that makes now a great time to buy.

2) First-Time Home Buyer Tax Credit.  A huge windfall for newbie buyers, saving upwards of $8000 in some cases.

3) Interest Rates Collapse.   Low rates, and even lower rates, have been the trend over the last several years.  Mortgage payments may be ready to rise in the next few years.

First Time Homebuyer Tax Credit

A recent article on Yahoo Finance points out that “new proposals from the Obama administration call for mortgages to become more expensive and limited in size.”    Very few buyers ever catch the exact bottom.  But relative to the top, home prices are screaming BUY now. And if the cost of owning will go up due to home loan changes and other restrictions, new buyers may want to act sooner, rather than later.

For sale by owner sellers face a serious project from the time they decide to sell their home until they cash their net check received at the closing table.  In order to maximize the “net check” it is helpful to recognize the work, the JOB of selling your home.

As seen in the chart above, one can choose to sell For Sale by Owner, without having to be left out in the cold.  Many wise Sellers choose the Hybrid or Alternative Choice, selecting certain professional services to assist them while selling.  
Along with getting help valuing and pricing my home (usually FREE help!), the most important part is getting exposure.  For this, a Flat Rate Fee Listing on the Multiple Listing Service MLS is very powerful.
Flat Fee FSBO Help for Listings is pretty simple.  You pay a reduced rate to get on the MLS, you do not receive Full Service unless you ask for it, and it can literally save you thousands on that “net check” we talked about above.

Getting on the MLS increases exposure approximately 6-8 times.  More prospects means more offers – and a much greater chance of receiving offers near your asking price!

What is the best way to sell my home and where do I list my house for sale to get maximum marketing effort and the most home buyers possible?

Use Funneling!  What is this home sales process?

1) You put your home info – but only a short teaser clip – on many different sites.  For example, everyone knows about Craigs and Zillow.  So here’s an example:

a) list a teaser on Zillow like this  http://www.zillow.com/homedetails/1941-Mable-Ave-Denver-CO-80229/12987203_zpid/

then, you use a personal web page link on that site to drive traffic to your own home for sale by owner web page and FSBO Video Tour

You can also do this marketing approach on Craigslist, whether you are selling home entirely by myself or getting Flat Fee Real Estate services so you have MLS exposure:

http://boulder.craigslist.org/reo/1481707460.html

then, you funnel them back to your home page!

2) on your page, you provide the information – all the listings details, home criteria and a custom video tour TO ALL REGISTERED USERS.  This way, you don’t waste your time with lookie lou’s but actually get qualified home buyers looking at your home that are in the market to buy your house!

Here’s an example:

Sell my home for sale by owner

At BestFSBO.com their focus is not on selling ads but on living their passion of bringing home buyers and sellers together in a win-win transaction.

COUCHFIRE

Home sellers remember this.  It’s NOT about how many people look at your house, or show up at an Open House.  It’s not about having hundreds of spam emails because you put your FSBO on Craigslist.  And it is most definitely NOT about how many flyers disappear from your magic box in front of your house.

THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS WHEN SELLING YOUR HOME IS THAT A QUALIFIED BUYER MAKES AN OFFER THAT IS ACCEPTABLE TO YOU, THAT CLOSES AND NETS YOU THE HIGHEST POSSSIBLE PRICE.

Nothing else matters.  Get no-cost funneling tips from Steve 720-353-4451, author of FSBO PowerTool and founder of FSBO Listings site www.BestFSBO.com
