Beyond the benefits of security and equity that most people associate with owning a home I would like you to consider some other financial benefits that many people do not really consider. While many people think about the debt and mortgage payment that comes with owning a home there are underlying tax benefits that we hope to make clear for you in this article. For example:If you rent a house for $1,000 a month payment it would cost you $12,000 a year to rent that property. $12,000 that you never would see again, plus you don't get credit from the IRS.If you bought that same property for $100,000 and it cost you $1,200 a month to rent. On the surface it looks like it would cost you $200 extra a month which turns out to be $2,400 extra per year.Let's look at the reality of this situatio...

As of today there are 1216 residential homes/condos on the market in Antioch, California. Of this nunber, 1096 are single family detached homes. It is important to note the ratio of homes sold and homes on the market; 27 homes sold and 1216 homes on the market. In addition to this note also the average price of homes sold is $356,792. This indicates that homes buyers are looking for more and wanting to pay less now adays. Not a good time to list your home but one heck of a time to buy! Unfortunately many home sellers sat on the fence waiting for that perfect time to sell and watched it go by.... now they are wishing they listed their home two years ago.  Right now is the excellent time to buy. Unfortunately I am seeing many home buyers sitting on the fence still. When interest rates sta...

What is a good strategy for increasing listings while having increasing church responsibilities?I am very active in my church from Sunday school teacher, choir leader, intercessory prayer, and nursery worker.  I haven't taken a lot of listings because of my minimal availablity for open houses on Sundays.  I have two Sundays a month where I am not doing a church work outside of being a saint and I can have an open house in the afternoon.  First service lets out at 11 am.I want more listings but I also want to be fair to my seller.  I have been working with buyers mostly. It is a better advantage to have listings because the Realtor is in control of any market.Any advice?

You will be the envy of the block if you purchase this home. With 4 bedrooms configured to not be a box, and 2.5 baths, you will enjoy sitting in your beautifully landscaped backyard watching the sun set or the sun rise. You really have to see this home.Linda Walling-StoneRealtor Coldwell Banker Coon & McCreary925-969-0616www.LindaWallingStone.com
