As a buyer or seller, once you have completed your transaction, the next step is the move. Having the right team on your side is crucial to the transition in or out of your home. My friends at Mayflower make this process smooth and affordable. If you need a mover locally or nationally, I can recommend AQMS Mayflower with confidence.

Within the Century 21 family, April is considered to be "Open House Month". This is a great time of year for buyers to come out and enjoy the great weather and look to find a new home. There are so many wonderful opportunities everywhere that makes for available product for just about any qualified buyer.

Take advange of the remaining days for the Federal Tax Credit and enjoy family time each Saturday and Sunday throughout April to preview your next home opportunity.

Property owned by a lender, usually a bank, after an unsuccessful sale at a foreclosure auction. This is common because most of the properties up for sale at these auctions are worth less than the total amount owed to the bank: the minimum bid in most foreclosure auctions equal the outstanding loan amount, the accrued interest and any fees associated with the foreclosure sale.

 A short sale occurs when a property is sold and the lender agrees to accept a discounted payoff, meaning the lender will release the lien that is secured to the property upon receipt of less money than is actually owed.

With only 13 days until the Federal Tax Credit expires, buyers are starting to really make quick decisions on selecting properties with the notion of getting in before the final date allowed. Keep in mind that the buyer has to be in contract by April 30, 2010 and must close escrow by June 30, 2010.

For California residents there is an additional state tax credit available which is on a first come first serve basis with $100 Million for first time buyers and $100 Million for move up buyers.  These buyers are eligible for a $10,000 credit upon a successful closing. Please check with your CPA or Attorneys for exact specifications and how all credits are applicable in your scenario. Once these funds are gone, they are gone!
