When buying a home; the most important question a buyer should ask is: What’s the home worth? Relying on one’s own opinion is “dangerous”! Buyers have the potential of thinking w/ their hearts rather than their heads. When this happens; the buyer may over-pay for the home. I’ve seen this time and time again and especially when the house is For Sale by Owner. It is imperative in my opinion that a buyer ask his/her agent what is this home in Ames, IA worth??

This year’s tax credit was a big hit! The numbers are in and it has been a fabulous spring in regards to home sales in Ames, IA. The tax credit deadline definitely appears to have been effective in getting buyers to make that deadline of April 30th. At the same time, this proved to make for a slower than usual May and June. At the end of June we have seen an increase in showings to take us back to more of a normal showing pattern for Ames, IA Real Estate! Traditionallly July and August are much slower in regards to showing activity when compared to March, April, and May!

April 30th is the deadline for everyone in the nation! But don’t worry; the sky will not fall on May 1st! Although the Tax Credits have been a a big incentive; the market will continue to be strong through May and into June. Typically July and August are much more quiet and less active than the spring months. It is important to be positioned well if you are a seller and have a house to sell. It is important to be priced agressively NOW! If your home has not sold by July1st, you may not see much activity again until the “fall surge”. If you are thinking about selling in Ames, IA, call me at 515-291-5153 to discuss your options. Bill Jennings REMAX

Many people are asking what the real estate market will be like in Ames, IA once the tax credits have expired. Property will continue to sell in May, June, July, and every month thereafter! The tax credits although helpful, are not the cure-all and May 1st, 2010 will not be the “end of the world”! Many people do not qualify as a first-time homebuyer nor do they qualify for the “move-up credit”. Therefore, buyers will continue to buy throughout the rest of the year. At the same time, March, April, May are the three best months of the year for total showing activity. Call Bill Jennings or email at billjennings@remax.net for more information in Ames, IA

It is important to remember that the first-time homebuyer’s tax credit is a credit and not a deduction. A deduction is reduced or deducted from your taxable income whereas a credit is simply a credit independent of income. In other words, a credit is “free money” providing you qualify as a first-time homebuyer.
