Who wouldn't want an $8000 tax credit?

What in effect the government is doing with this historic tax credit opportunity, is offering qualifying individuals to deduct a large portion of the amount they pay for closing costs on a home purchase as a tax credit against taxes owed the IRS for 2009 (and in some cases 2008). Here are some details on the program from the I.R.S. http://www.irs.gov/newsroom/article/0,,id=206291,00.html

This is possibly a once in a lifetime opportunity to have the U.S. government help you buy a home--but the offer is only good until Dec. 1, 2009

What that means, is the property must close escrow by 12/1/2009. Many of our sales are currently short sales and foreclosures and they can take up to 3 months to close escrow. So, time is of the essence.

Edmonds Washington - Beach fun!

I love beaches and really love low tide. My son was a little sick last week so we took some time and went out in the gorgeous sun and fresh air at Edmonds Beach - Brackett's Landing specifically.

Here are some shots, but if you haven't been out there it is a great place to go hang out - there are restrooms, picnic tables, and more plus it is along the waterfront walkway that runs all along Edmonds next to the Puget Sound. Dogs are not allowed at this beach, but it is still worth a trip!

While you are here check out the floats all out on the water - this is an underwater dive park! Also the ferry loading dock for the Kingston-Edmonds run is right here and fun to watch as the cars and people load and unload. We found amazing and colorful starfish and more.

Ferry boat coming in...

This is a wonderful view condo in Edmonds, but prior to staging, there wasn't much to look at in this unit to distinguish it from all of the other "vanilla boxes" in this community.

The condo has a great room, which includes the kitchen, dining area and living room. Potential buyers often have difficulty figuring out how to arrange their furniture in spaces like these. Also, these spaces always appear smaller when vacant. Amazing but true!

Here is the condo's great room prior to staging:

And here are the "after" staging photos:

By showing potential buyers how they can use this space for living and entertaining, this condo stands head and shoulders above the other "plain vanilla boxes" in the complex.
