Our various home improvement stores, plumbers, electricians, door and window installers, garage door installers, and everyone else who works in and on real estate is inundating us with notices, advertisements, phone calls, and emails reminding us that the $1,500 federal tax credit for home improvements expires at the end of this month along with the $8,000 federal tax credit for first-time home buyers. Wow. That's a long sentence. I'm tired, now, but I go on.... Along with reminding your past and present Clients to change the batteries in their smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, remind them of the home improvement tax credit as well. Money is money, and every little bit helps! **********

Jim,
Great advice! Every little bit of extra money in your pocket helps. Who would pass free money up?! Thanks for the reminder.
Of course we now know that the buyer's credit has been extended and expanded -- improved I guess you could say, but I don't think the home improvement credit was included in the extension.
Hey, Carra - Not only who would pass up free money, but what Realtor would pass up the opportunity to tell their Clients that there is free money out there?
Hey, Gerald - I actually haven't been able to find out much about the tax credit, so I guess it's relevant to presume that it wasn't included in the extension. It would be great if the federal government would just let us keep our money for a year instead of giving it to them and then having them give it back to us. Of course, that might mean that some government employees wouldn't have anything to do, so they might need to be let go, thereby increasing unemployment. It's a wicked world we live in.
