I LOVE working with all of these folks and would gladly give you their information if you are in need of their services!

Thinking of selling your Southwest Missouri property? Wait no more - do it now!
This week I've spent a great deal of time talking to people about the First Time Homebuyer tax credit being offered by the Federal government as well as the Tax Advance program being offered by the State of Missouri. There have been a ton of questions and I'm loving every minute of it!
While it's still early in the program, the buying public has taken note and is looking into their buying options.
Here are four reasons I believe now is a great time to list your home to SELL:
1. New inventory will get noticed! Many properties on the market today have been there for a long, long time. The issue may be price, it may be condition or perhaps even difficulty in showing the home. Agents have seen these properties and have made their judgment call. Buyers have seen these properties on the Internet and have their reservations. A home that has not been on the market recently will get noticed.
2. Local buyers are asking about the 1st time buyer tax credits - The majority of questions we've received this week have come from RENTERS in the area. One or two have made the decision to stay in the area, put down roots and buy a home. A few realize there may never be a better incentive to buy than there is right now.
3. Rates are still historically low - Compared to previous down turns in real estate, interest rates are incredibly low. Buyers can still buy more home for their money due to lower rates. I do believe this time next year we will see higher interest rates.
4. Out of state buyer interest is picking back up - Real estate is selling in areas outside of Missouri. We are again seeing inquiries from around the country; as properties out of state are selling, people are able to come into the state of Missouri and BUY homes, farms and commercial property. This is new money that can be used to buy your home.
And, a bonus: This is a great time to take advantage of the lower interest rates for YOURSELF, especially if you are in need of a larger home or more land. 
If you'd like more information on the programs available to your buyers:

The tradition continues this Sunday, March 1st, 2009 - opening day of trout season at Bennett Spring State Park in Lebanon Missouri.
Last year, the Park played host to 3,000 anglers on opening day, a Saturday. This year, Park officials expect the same, if not a few more. The weathermen are calling for cooler weather - but I don't think that will deter many. Trout fishermen and women are a dedicated bunch!

Putting together a post last week on free or nearly free activities in Lebanon Missouri, I realized Donkey Basketball was coming to Lebanon as a fundraising event. Donkey basketball? You mean real, live donkeys? people ride the donkeys? in the gym? I had to see this!
Until a few weeks ago, I had never heard of Donkey Basketball.
I know, I know, where have I been?

I can assure you this was worth more than the $6 ticket price - joining the donkey's were students and business men and women from Lebanon. It was rather fun to see a few of our local bankers out there on the floor, trying to ride a donkey in the middle of a gym.
If you have the opportunity, donkey basketball is an inexpensive way to have a few laughs while raising money for a good cause.
If you're looking for a community fundraiser, this may be the one for you! There are a variety of companies out there, however, here in Lebanon MO they used Circle A Donkey Ball Company at Donkeyball.net
