It's just after 3am...and my alarm still didn't go off...

No it's not Christmas or Easter. There is a great reward awaiting for me if I can only catch up to it. I have been really busy and have not had the time to prepare as I would like to have. Although, not much changes from year to year and I have been in the same place for the last 17 years.

Images are Dancing through my head...and sugar plums are not it. I am sure Dad is nearly awake also as we have not missed this day together since we started 39 years ago. Things are not the same as they were so many years ago as with Dad's age creeping up, but I would not miss this day with him for anything!

This Monarch survived last falls onslaught, but I have a good idea where we will meet this year. He is a crafty ol' bugger like his Grandfather and Great-Grandfather before him. The challange is just to see him...he will make some great table fare after that.

It's nearly 4 am and the Alarm will be going off any time now. Need to shut it off so as not to wake my Bride.

To All the Hunters out in the wild this year...PLEASE make it a safe one.

Market changes drastically from last year with pending and closed sales up significantly from this time last year.  Expect prices to show a slight bump due to frenzied first time buyer activity trying to get into a home before the now extended tax credit was to expire.  The volume of first time buyers entering the market and purchasing foreclosures at break neck speed with show as an aberration in the coming months as the rush will be over and we will enter into a seasonal slow down.  However, if your considering selling your property this summer, you may want to push your time frame up to earlier in the winter/spring market. Expect listings to start increasing in February.

Rates seem to be staying stable. However, the Fed has indicated that the economy may have slight improvement and that it may have to start raising rates in the next quarter or two to stem off inflation. First time buyer credit expires 11/30/09, but there are and still will be homes that are extremely affordable and over the winter months, could be had for less than you would save with the credit.

Congress Passes, Obama Signs First-Time Homebuyer Tax Credit Extension/Expansion

As a professional Realtor who has seen the impact the $8,000 tax credit has had on our local market, the expansion and extension of the tax credit is sure to create a strong market through the winter (at least for certain price ranges). Now move up buyers and first time buyers are handed a financial gift just for doing what people would normally do...purchase a place to live. I will caution a certain percentage of you. If the time is not right for you to buy a home, don't. The $8,000/$6,500 isn't worth settling on just any home. If your financial future is uncertain proceed with caution (of course you need to be able to qualify for a loan, that's a given), I'm am speaking to those of you on the edge. Life is often uncertain, and there will be a certain amount of risk anytime you buy a home. I want to encourage you to purchase a home for the right reasons. A good way to know if you are making the right decision would be to ask yourself, if this tax credit wasn't available, would I still buy this house. Please, please, don't rush to buy a home just to qualify for the credit. Make sure that you love the place that you select. There are no gaurantees that your home will appreciate in value by the time you want to sell it. So, buy smart, and buy for the right reasons.
