NAR- national association of Realtors reports: For the first time in approximately 5 years, existing home sales have increased for four months in a row.

Statistics for exisiting home sales nationwide- single-family, townhomes, condominiums and co-ops rose 7.2 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.24 million units in July from 4.89 million in June and are 5 percent above 4.99 million units in July of 2008. The last time sales rose for four months in a row was in June of 2004, and the last time sales were higher than a year earlier was November 2005.

A combination of first time home buyers taking advantage of the stimulus tax credit and greatly improved home prices are contributing to higher sales.

A NAR survey showed first-time home buyers purchased 30 percent of homes in July, and distressed homes accounted for 31 percent of sales

There is one very important factor to keep in mind as we all grapple with the sate of the economy and the housing market and the flood of statistics thrown at us by the media everyday: We are blessed to live in one of the most beautiful areas of the country, in one of the world;s premier cities. This prime real estate, and prices will not be down forever. We will eventually reach that nice, balanced market and form our new perspective it may actually look like a boom!

Are you thinking of remodeling your home? Consider the return on your investment before remodeling. Not all remodeling projects yield the same return in increasing your home's value.

Updating your kitchen and baths is your best remodeling investment, returning a nearly dollar-for-dollar increase in home resale value. An updated kitchen and bathrooms make your home that much more attractive to potential buyers when you do decide to sell.

By contrast, converting a basement into a family room or adding outdoor recreation facilities, such as a swimming pool or sport court, yield the lowest return on your investment.

Sometimes the cumulative effect of several smaller projects can yield a higher resale value than one or two larger ones. Smaller projects tend to be more cosmetic--new paint, doors, or windows. Larger projects that upgrade or add living space may cost more, but almost always add less resale value for the dollars spent.

Whatever you do, be careful of over-improving for your neighborhood. Remodeling that significantly improves your property over neighboring homes won't return as much when it comes time to sell.
