We couldn't have said it better -- so we won't try!  Here is a great blog from an experienced buyer's agent in Colorado Springs.  Buyers really do form a strong opinion of a home the minute they walk in the door.  First impressions are everything!
Via Kristi DeFazio Colorado Springs Real Estate 719-459-5468 (RE/MAX Advantage):
I have been a buyer's agent in Colorado Springs for awhile now and each time I take a buyer into a home, they usually make a comment within the first 5 seconds of entering the home.

Where are Mortgage Rates Going in 2010? - 02/22/10 09:11 AM
Where are Mortgage Rates Going in 2010?
It's one of the most frequently asked questions and also one of the most difficult to answer.  Many experts are saying they anticipate rates to go up because the Governement is expected to stop pumping money into Mortgage Backed Securities -- But it's a complicated subject and even the "experts" don't see eye to eye.
We found a great video that explains what Mortgage Backed Securities are and how they effect the rates.  It's the easiest to understand explanation we've found.    Draw your own conclusions!

Real Estate Scams are Alive and Well -- Right Here in Indianapolis!
So I'm sitting at my desk on a rather slow Real Estate day......and the telephone rings!  An opportunity!  Happy days are here again!  Tiny Tim is saved!
But...what's that?  Do I have a home for sale in Hill Valley?  Yes!  (Everyone in the office is cheering!  They are breaking out the bubbly!)
Oh, Hill Valley you say?  (dejected)  ... actually that home sold a couple of weeks ago, but I have some other great options that might interest you (hopeful)!
That's when the call took an odd turn.  (Cue the creepy … (1 comments)

Our Own Son Didn't Know -- The $8000 Tax Credit is Real Money in Your Pocket! - 02/05/10 04:24 PM

How Embarrassing!  Our Own Son Didn't Know -- The $8000 Tax Credit is Real Money in Your Pocket!
Last night Steve and I joined our son and his girlfriend for dinner.  I happened to ask him if he had finished preparing his income taxes and taken advantage of the tax deduction being offered for the sales tax he paid on his new car.  He said yes, and mentioned that it was worth a couple of hundred dollars to him. 
One thing led to another and the conversation turned to the First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit.  Being 26, he's interested in the idea of buying … (3 comments)
