Concerning the $8,000 tax credit for first time homebuyers,

 and how it should have been done.... No one says it better than Todd Clark!

I agree that his idea would stimulate the economy the right way!  

Too bad our government doesn't think more like him! 

 The economy would be stimulated in more ways than one.

The following is well written and is according to Todd Clark

 (Broker/Sales Coach), GRI (Beaverton, Oregon Real Estate Expert)

 Beaveron, OR with Palazzo Realty Group.

 I agree,  this money could be better spent! Just my humble opinion

 So, what do you think??

Via Todd Clark (Broker/Sales Coach), GRI (Beaverton, Oregon Real Estate Expert) (Palazzo Realty Group):

I applaud the government for trying to at least do something to stimulate the economy by getting the housing market going. I think the government is trying to get things moving by doing the only thing they know how to do when they see a problem. THROW MONEY AT IT!

Here is the why I think this $8,000 tax credit is a bad idea. Today there are more home owners than there ever has been at any other point in our history. So, throwing money at people to buy who were, more than likely, going to buy anyway, is just throwing money away. These people are buying homes that they would have already bought anyway, but just at deeply discounted prices because home prices are rapidly falling because of short sales and foreclosures. (It may sway a few, but probably not.)

Here is what is happening and my idea on how that $8,000 could be better spent.

The main thing that needs to be done today to help our economy is to stabilize the housing market and get people spending money again. To stabilize the housing market and to keep prices from continuing to fall, we need to stop the short sales and the foreclosures. The people that are in foreclosure proceedings are not spending money, they are holding on to every dime they can.

What is happening is after they lose their home to foreclosure or short sale, they are finding that their credit has been damaged to the point that they can’t even rent a home and they end up moving in with family members. Once again, money is not being put in to the economy.

Now, let us put that $8,000 to better use!

If you lost your job and you were making $5,000 a month, after two months, you are now behind on your mortgage payment. Then you look for a job for two months and finally find one, but you are already behind on your mortgage payment along with all your other bills.

Now, you have to wait 2 weeks to a month before you get your first check and then you have to figure out how to pay everyone back and catch up and out of your first $5,000 paycheck… you already owe $9,000 in bills and late fees. Every month you try to catch up, but you can’t. It just really is impossible and so you have to do a short sale or your home goes into foreclosure while you try to play catch up. 



How about if someone loses their job due to layoffs or business closure,
we take that $8,000 and help them pay their mortgage payment? Most mortgages are under $2,000 a month and that would keep a family in their home for another 4 to 5 months while they find another job. They could spend what money they do have on food and other necessities and this keep the economy flowing. Once they have a job, the government stops paying. This could only be one months payment… $1,600 vs $8,000. It’s easy for me to see which is cheaper.

But, there is more to how this would help. If theses homes are going into foreclosure or having to be on sold on short sales for 50-60% of the loan balance, then the housing market would naturally stabilize and the banks could start to lend again without worry. The economy would start to stabilize and our country could get out of this rut we have been in for the last year or two and get back to enjoying life again. We would not have to worry if next month their $250,000 home will be worth only $125,000 and if they are even going to have a job.

I would love to hear your thoughts on my plan. If you like it, feel free to start a grass roots effort and tell everyone you know about it and maybe, just maybe, some government official will like it and we can get this country back to what it was two years ago.

©2009 Todd Clark - Why and how I think the $8,000 tax credit could be better spent

 

(This post was inspired by Richard Weisser)

Out with the old and in with the new! Real Estate Agents must be now be accountable!

Effective in all states! 

New Real Estate Rule effective immediately! All Listing agents must now be accountable! 

 Agents may NO LONGER take listings if they are not going to be available to field calls for showings! Answer your phone

If you take a listing and know you can't be available, you MUST get someone to take your calls or else you can't take the listings! Sellers deserve better than this and are now requiring it.  Agents may no longer play "God" with their sellers homes! Sellers just want their homes SOLD.  If it can't be shown, then it can't be sold! Agents do NOT have the right to jeopardize the sale!

 I really think it should be done like this -Seriously, WHY should a agent take a listing (which is actually an employment contract) if they aren't willing to do the home work and be available to set up showings or even take the phone calls??  What is so difficult about picking up the phone, or at least returning phone calls so that a listing can be shown? In order to sell it, this must happen! Sellers deserve at least this much.  

Why should anyone have to call three different times in a day to set up a showing and STILL not get a call back?   

Sellers are entitled to know that their AGENTS are not available to do the work that goes along with the listing and know that the  agent doesn't seem to care either!  That is a absolute disgrace.  What is so hard about managing phone calls??? It is simply our job! What ever happened to service? 

The new rule is going to be : from now on, all sellers will be notified every time an agent calls, emails or texts their listing agent to try to set up a showing!  This will be done automatically from the MLS!

Listing agents, how do you feel about that? 

Better yet, maybe we should just go ahead and ask the sellers just how they feel about that, what do you think? Aren't we supposed to follow all sellers legal and lawful instructions? 

 Maybe the sellers need to put this post's instructions in to action!  How many listing agents would be fired?  Maybe sellers will see this post and realize just how it is supposed to be done...if they are not sure, they can just contact me!  I will be happy to oblige! How about YOU?

Owensboro Medical Health System ranked in the top 5 percent nationally for 2009 and received the "HealthGrades Distinguished Hospital For Clinical Excellence Award"(TM)(according to WFIE the Internet, and the OMHS website)

OMHS is rated in the top 270 hospitals in the country and is one of only five in the commonwealth to obtain this honorable award! 

 Apparently this group studies the mortality rates and clinical care of almost 5,000 non-federal hospitals.  According to OMHS's CEO Jeff Barber, this is an award that is hard to achieve.

In my humble opinion, Owensboro, Kentucky is very fortunate to have OMHS.  Most area health systems do not ever achieve this recognition for high quality care!  I can tell you that from my previous Nursing experience and from living in other areas of the country! Thanks Owensboro Medical Health System! I am so glad I live here!
