What YOU Can Do to Help Improve Your Home Value
Want to improve the value of your home in today’s challenging market? Contact your senators and congressmen and urge them to support the National Association of REALTORS® initiative to extend the 1st-time homebuyers tax credit. Studies show that recent positive real estate market results have been fueled largely by first-time buyers seeking to take advantage of the $8,000 tax credit offered by the federal government. But this stimulus program is scheduled to end in approximately two months on November 30th. NAR is spearheading a move to extend it through 2010 to help keep the housing sector on a positive track. Even if you’re already a homeowner and even if you’re not planning to sell your home any time soon, you have a stake in the outcome of this effort, because a healthy real estate market is necessary for strong home values.
A vibrant real estate market is also vital to the overall economy in many ways. When people buy homes, they usually also invest in a multitude of products and services. Moving companies, insurance companies, manufacturers and purveyors of home improvement items, such as paint, draperies, lighting and plumbing fixtures, landscaping materials and services, appliances, carpeting and flooring products, and many, many, many other kinds of companies all rely on a viable real estate market.
Home ownership helps build strong communities, too. It has been shown that neighborhoods with a high percentage of homeowners are generally more stable and have less crime, better schools and more engaged citizens. Let’s keep housing—and the entire economy—heading in the right direction. It’s good for us all!
