This is the most up to date information that I have about the NEW First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit Stimulus Plan that has supposedly been agreed on by the House and Senate, although not actually approved yet or signed into law yet. I received an email earlier this afternoon from my manager at that was forwarded from Dave Stevens (COO of Long and Foster). The chart below is a great depiction about the changes that have been made from the original so called tax credit (a.k.a. interest free loan) which make it a true credit now! However, I have to give credit to Dave since I didn't actually design the chart below. I thought that it was so good that I would share it with you all here on AR!

When buyers are getting ready to come through your home, you need to make sure it is in tip top shape! Make sure the outside looks good and then make sure to focus on the main entry way into the home. By the time the buyers walk up to the front door they are starting to make their first impression. The absolute most important things to consider when getting your home ready for sale are:
You would be surprised how our entire body can be turned on or off because of a smell. This time of the year in the winter a good scent is an apple cinnamon scent as it is warm and inviting. A great way to achieve this is to use reed diffusers. They are not as ugly as the good old plug ins that look like you are trying to cover something up and their smells can really permiate an entire room and even level of your home. And to top it off, THEY LOOK NEAT TOO (SEE THE PICTURE ABOVE)!
