A snowy day in Capac, MI.  If you look down the street you can see the bulldozer as it is in the center of the road where it has pushed the snow.  The snow will be lifted to a dump truck to be carried off.

The $7,500 tax credit is for people buying their first home, and was passed as part of the Housing and Economic recovery Act of 2008.  You must qualify for this the full amount tax credit.  To do so, one must earn less than $75,000 annually as a single person.  Couples may earn up to $150,000.  Individual buyers with an income of up to $95,000 and couples with an income up to $170,000 are eligible for a partial credit.

This is how it works:  Buyers who have not owned a home in the past three years can take a tax credit worth 10% of a home's sale price, up to $7,500 whichever is smaller.  The credit is good for homes that closed after April 9, 2008 and before July 1, 2009, and can be taken on taxes filed during 2008 or 2009.

I do hope as you read this blog you have had a wonderful week end.  Here in Berlin Township, Michigan, as I write the temperature is at 55 degrees.  We have had a lot of clouds this day, some rain and then what seemed to be an immediate burst of sunshine.  You all know what we usually get with that situation..................yep a rainbow.  Just thought I'd share it with you all.

My husband was wondering which end of the rainbow the gold could be found....................What do you think?

This is what it says in Genesis 9:16    NIV  "Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth."

Amazing !!!!!!!!!  That's God

My husband and I visited his sister and her husband in California.  What a beautiful state!  Everything was very green this time of the year.  Flowers were blooming.  The weather was a little cooler than we had hoped for, but we had a wonderful time.  Thank you Carolyn and Richard.  You were a wonderful pair as host and hostess.

While there Carolyn and Richard treated us to a concert of Carol King's.  She was wonderful, down to earth and full of energy. We just enjoyed the concert beyond explanation.

We also visited a couple of beaches.  I fell in love with Sycamore Cove Beach.

If you are reading this from California and  see Caroly and Richard, in their Westlake Village community, tell them Ken and Pat says "Hello".

There are a number of reasons why the listing contracts expire;

1) overpriced property
2) underexposed property
3)  or maybe you just don't need to sell. 
If the reason is number three, what I tell my client is that if they don't need to sell, now may not be the best time.

Does this some familiar, are you one of the homeowner who's home did not sell?
What do you think could have been different, either with what you or your agent did or did not do.
