Patch's real estate columnist discusses how to get more money for your home.
It used to be that if you remodeled a kitchen, a bath, or added any type of improvement, you could expect a dramatic increase in your home value. Then, with the downturn in the market, improvements made a house stand out, but would not necessarily add gobs of monetary value to the home. Fast forward to today: we are on the uptick. Prices are going up, as is demand. The markets are very competitive with multiple offers on many properties. What are some projects that can really add some value to your home? Number one was adding a steel door. At an average cost of $1100, it is economical and a seller can expect to see 85.6% of what they spent returned in added value. An owner can also expect to recoup 79.6% of their investment on cement …

According to our real estate columnist, this may become the banks' preferred method of dealing with homeowners who are behind on their mortgage.
Last week, I broke the good news about the federal government extending this act through 2013. All homeowners who are in trouble can now sleep at night knowing that they can avoid foreclosure. With the extension of this law, banks are now indicating that this may be their preferred method of dealing with behind homeowners in 2013. We saw a record number of short sales in 2012 and that trend should continue in 2013. Who to call? It is important that you have a real estate agent who is well versed in the short sale process. An inexperienced agent can be detrimental to your sale and may even delay it to the point where a homeowner gets foreclosed on. Agents, like myself, that are a CDPE, or Certified Distressed Property Expert, are …

If you sell a home in Snellville at a loss, you will not have to pay taxes on the difference.
As part of the "fiscal cliff" vote, the Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act is being extended. What this simply means is that when a struggling homeowner sells their home for $75,000 and they owe $150,000, they are not taxed on the $75,000 that the bank had to write off. This is good news for homeowners that are struggling. Other homeowner benefits extensions include being able to deduct your private mortgage insurance for those who make less than $110,000 a year. This is retroactive back to 2012 and includes 2013. A tax credit of up to $500 is available to homeowners who made energy improvements to their home in 2012. This is also available in 2013. By the Numbers: Active Listings: 216 Average Price: $196,593 Sold Listings: 56 …

What could the sell of seriously delinquent home loans mean for you?
The United States Department of Housing and Urban Development has begun selling off seriously delinquent loans. In an effort to avoid the short fall and bailout that could happen next year, thousands of loans are being sold, according to a report on AOL Real Estate. This could be a windfall for those whose loans are sold, for many could be modified to avoid foreclosure. The plans is to sell at least 30,000 loans. This represents just a sliver of the nearly 700,000 seriously delinquent loans on their books. Officials would not specify how they would select the loans. Only seriously delinquent would qualify, but no specific information was given. This indicates we are still far from being out of this housing crisis. There are many great …
