Top 5 real estate post of the day 6/1/2009

1) Financing a home inspection – This is news to me and I debated if I should even post it. Jim makes a great point I agree with 100%, if you cannot afford the home inspection, maybe you should continue to rent.

2) Selling your home? Nothing matters more than price – It’s been said a million times, but I don’t think it can ever be said enough. Kye Grace’s video hits it on the head, price it right and make it available to see.

3) First time home buyers allowed to use $8,000 tax credit for closing costs or additional down payment  – Heather Barr, Justin McHood, Brad Pevehouse, Zillow

4) Another lesson in short sales – Not sure about your market, but I know around here short sales are not going away anytime quick.
