Invest $1,500 in insulation and maintenance and get over twice that in energy savings the first year.

The attic floor is the house's most important barrier to heat loss because heat rises," says Charley Cormany, project manager at Renu, a home energy performance contractor in San Anselmo, Calif.

The thickness of the insulation between joists in the unfinished floor should be at least 10 to 12 inches. If it isn't, lay on additional rolls, or "batts." You should also insulate a pull-down door or hatch with an attic tent. Made of fabric-covered insulating material, it keeps out drafts but allows you access through a zippered flap ($200 from attictent.com).

Buyers

With the current economic climate, everyone is looking for some savings and assistance wherever possible.  If you haven't looked into refinancing, you may want to make a call to see if you may be eligible to save some money on your housing payment.  Despite the news of tightening credit standards, home refinances are at record highs as interest rates are at 40yr lows. 

With low interest rates, competitive property prices, and enticing tax credits, first time home buyers have a lot of incentive to look for a home in 2009.  If you know a friend or family member looking to become a first time home buyer, you may want to pass the attached 1st Time Homebuyer Tax Credit pdf on to them along with my name. I would greatly appreciate any referral you can send my way.

If you are a first-time home buyer or haven't owned a home in the last 3 years, then you are eligible for a limited-time tax credit up to $8,000.  This is not just a deduction, but a credit against any Federal taxes you owe.  So if you owe $5,000 in taxes you could actually end up getting a $3,000 refund!  The home must be purchased between April 9, 2008 and July 1, 2009.  There are additional requirements, so consult with your tax advisor.  You can find more information at www.federalhousingtaxcredit.com

CHARLOTTE, N.C. - CRRA reports on the residential real estate market in this region. The number of closings for August 2008 was 2,469, which is a 34.5 percent decrease from August 2007. The average sales price for August 2008 was $230,472 which is a 4.5 percent decrease from the average sales price in August 2007. The average listing price for solds for August 2008 was $247,323, a decrease (1.5 percent) over August 2007’s average list price of $251,164, but a slight increase over July 2008.

Residential contracts reported in August 2008 (2,655) decreased 20.3 percent from August 2007 (3,331). New residential listings reported for August 2008 totaled 5,558. The average days-on-market for August 2008 was 136.1 days, which is an increase (5.4 days) over the previous month.

“The gradual downward trend in closings and contracts show that the Charlotte housing market is not immune to what has been happening in other housing markets across the country,“ said Dot Munson, president of CRRA and Carolina Multiple Listing Services, Inc. (CMLS). “However, we should be encouraged because the average sales price of homes has steadily increased since January 2008 and the average sales price is somewhat unchanged since last month. We are optimistic that based on the overall strength of the Charlotte market and the federal government’s recent takeover of secondary mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, we will see interest rates continue to fall, which should spur activity in the region.”
