HELPFUL TIPS ON SELLING YOUR HOME:
So what are some of these important things that sellers can do to get a home ready to sell?
Smell is huge. Smoke, cooking certain foods, and garbage overflowing can really make a home smell bad. The minute a buyer opens the door: The smell is there and can be a quick turn off.
Empty the garbage often. Don’t open the windows; the wind can carry in smells to the home.
If someone is a smoker, they need to first eliminate all smoking in the house, or even outside of the home when the doors are open. Get an ionizer, which is great for removing smoke smells.
Also, remember that it might not be a good idea if someone might see your house tomorrow to cook lamb, broccoli, garlic or fish the night before. You won’t be able to get those smells out of the house in time before a showing. Also, make sure to take the garbage out often.
If you can’t make cookies every day to improve the smell of the home, then get a very subtle plug-in air freshener. Make sure to have it set to the lowest setting. The No. 1 scent is cinnamon; No. 2 is vanilla. Just don’t put them all over the house — it will be overpowering! If you have a two-story home, put one upstairs and one downstairs.

NEW STIMULUS PLAN
Will the Stimulus Benefit Home Buyers?
According to what I've read on this: "First-time Home Buyer Tax Credit".
New Information: The buyers may now use the $8000 Tax Credit towards Downpayment as well as Closing Cost on a FHA loan.
The new tax credit available to first-time home buyers was increased from $7,500 to $8,000 for homes purchased between January 1, 2009, and December 1, 2009. Also, the credit no longer needs to be paid back as long as the buyers live in the home without selling it for at least 3 years.
The income limitations remain the same ($75,000 for single tax payers claiming the full credit and $150,000 for married tax payers), as do most other qualification requirements. Also, the credit remains refundable. This means that first-time home buyers who owe less than $8,000 in taxes for the year are still eligible for the full $8,000 credit when they file their tax returns, and the IRS will write them a check for the difference between $8,000 and their actual tax bill. The credit can be claimed on your 2008 tax returns that you file by April 15 of this year, even if you buy the home in 2009.
There is one catch, however: if you bought the home in 2008, the credit remains $7,500, and it still needs to be paid back over a 15 year timeframe beginning in 2011 when you file your 2010 returns.
Hope this information is helpful and if you have any questions
please give me a call or call your tax person for more info.
