| Article Title :: New Year's Resolution for Renters: Buy a Home in 2006 |
| |
|
Are you still renting a home or apartment for yourself or your
family?
If so, you're losing money. Think about these three ways you
lose money by renting:
1. You're paying for someone else's mortgage payment. You're
missing out on the appreciation that the property gives to the
landlord. Appreciation is a term used in accounting relating to
the increase in value of an asset, which means in real estate
terms, added value to the property. Over the past five years,
houses appreciated significantly, making many new real estate
investor multimillionaires.
2. Renters don't get to freeze their monthly housing expenses
like home buyers can. Of course, many home buyers get mortgage
payments with (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Financial Incentives for Using Solar Power in Your Home |
| |
|
It is undeniable that energy prices are going through the roof.
Just take a look at your utility bill. The good news is using
solar power can save your bank account, particularly with new
incentives.
Personal Tax Credit and Deductions
If anything is more aggravating than exploding energy costs,
it's your tax bill. New and established government programs let
you attack both by going solar. The first method is by simply
saving money on taxes. If you install a solar energy system on
your home, the federal government is going to give you a tax
credit of up to $2,000. Tax credits reduce your tax liability
dollar for dollar unlike deductions which are subtracted from
your gross income. A majori (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Your Home Equity Credit Lines |
| |
|
Do you need to borrow money? Home equity lines may be one source
of credit. Home equity credit lines may provide you with large
amounts of cash at a low interest rate and they may provide you
with certain tax advantages with other loans.
Home equity lines of credit require you to use your home as
collateral for the loan. This may put your home at risk if you
are late or cannot make your monthly payments. Those loans with
a large final (balloon) payment may lead you to borrow more
money to pay off this credit line, or they may put your home in
jeopardy if you cannot qualify for other refinancing. If you
sell your home, most plans require you to pay off your credit
line at the time of clos (read full article) |

| |
|
Looking at Homes and Estates and Planned Unit Developments for
2005 in Summerland versus 2004, let's look at some of the
numbers and see.
In 2004 15 single family dwellings changed hands. Compare that
to 2005 when 13 properties moved. This translates to a decrease
of about -15% in the number of properties sold. An interesting
number but not where near what happened in Carpinteria.
So what about the List price of these properties? In 2004 the
Median List price which is the one right in the middle of those
14 properties went on the market for $1,295,000 and in 2005 the
Median List price was $1,655,000 for a 27% increase in one year.

Property market in Portugal by Pedro Rodriguez
Portugal has enjoyed a steady increase in the number of foreign
buyers over the past 10 years or so. Property prices have risen
steadily. Portugal and the Algarve in particular saw a huge rise
in property investment.
Portuguese buyers are very cautious right now due to the economy
of the country and are not buying as they used to. The forecast
for the Portuguese market is not very optimistic for the
foreseeable future.
The foreigners however are still looking towards Portugal as a
sound investment base for property purchase. New quality
developments in all parts of the Algarve have raised the
standard of construction and there is a healthy (read full article) |

Guzzling House |

Americans are becoming increasingly aware of the environment's
importance to health and quality of life for today and future
generations. Issues such as global warming and rising energy
costs are rarely escaping the headlines. The need for energy
sustainability has becoming paramount especially in light of the
emergence of China and India as great industrial powers and
global competitors for dwindling resources. The media
continually looks to the automobile as one of the leading
culprits of energy waste, and certainly hybrid technology is
proving that we can make great improvement, but what about "gas

Why you Need a Realtor to Sell Your Home
As you consider selling your home, you might be thinking "Why do
I need a Realtor, what value does a Sellers Agent provide to
me?"
Here are five areas where a licensed Realtor can help you sell
your home -
SETTING THE PRICE
Pricing your home for sale is a careful balance. Set the price
too low and you end up leaving money on the table. Set the price
too high and your home will be on the market a long time, which
will make the problem worse as potential buyers think "that
house has been on the market a long time, there must be a
problem with it".
It is the Realtors job to know what homes like yours have sold
