Should I Take My Home Off the
Market During the Holidays?

When
you look at your calendar you
may find the months already
overloaded with seasonal
obligations -- shopping,
entertaining, children's
pageants, charity work,
decorating the house, and so
much more. If you are also
trying to sell your home, you
are under extra pressure to keep
your home in "showtime"
condition. And that could be the
last thing you need before the
holiday spirit is broken.
It is understandable why
you would be tempted to take
your home off the market during
the holidays. And the list of
justifications is long. If you
are too busy, buyers may be
also, and you may find your
efforts unrewarded with not
enough showings. And what if you
do get an offer? You may be
faced with the possibility of
packing and moving during

Buyers: A Source of Capital You May
Not Have Considered

Buyers
have a source of investment capital that
they haven't considered -- their
pensions.
Many people don't know that they
can use their pension funds to invest in
real estate. The truth is it's entirely
possible and perfectly legal -- with a
self-directed pension plan.
Any time a pension fund allows
someone to control his or her own
investment decisions it's a
self-directed plan. But the term
"self-directed" can be misleading,
especially when you are limited to
investing in a list of stocks or mutual
funds provided by your plan's
administrator. If you have a truly
self-directed plan, you can invest in
just about anything you want, as long as
it fits within IRS guidelines.
So many things are included in the
IRS guidelines that even the IRS doesn't
bother trying to list them all. Instead
the IRS lists only those things pension
plans can't invest in. If it's not on
that list, then you should be okay
making the investment, so long as the
transaction

It Is A Good Time To Decide

It
sounds tired, trite, hackneyed, even a
little specious, especially when it's
become little more than a marketing
slogan used to describe just about any
housing market, no matter how bleak or
bright.
However, right now, the popular
refrain, "It's a good time to buy,"
resonates with a more resolute ring of
truth.
Remember that a "good time to buy"
for you may not be the same "good time
to buy" for someone else. Personal
considerations trump the generalities.
Instead of making the home-buying
decision based solely on market
conditions, consider it in a more
holistic context.
It's only a good time for you to
buy a home, typically, when owning is
cheaper than renting and a home purchase
is a natural fit for your financial
needs, goals, obligations and lifestyle.
Consider market conditions -- it's
wise to buy low and sell high -- but
also examine your complete financial
picture, other goals in life and plans
for your family.
It's not easy.
The current market offers a big
carrot.
"Today, with the real estate
market slowing in many parts of the
country, all the market fundamentals
show that

Homeowners Lax On Guest Room Preparedness

'Tis
the season.
Guests are coming.
But you aren't prepared.
Your spare room is a storage locker, a
temporary office, a play room or a catch-all
dump for spillover from the garage.
And there's so much junk in the attic you
don't need insulation.
That once yawning, guest room of emptiness
called out to you looking for somewhere to toss
stuff in order to keep the rest of the home neat
and up-to-date.
Now, with the holidays brewing, there's
trouble on the home front.
Total domestic travel expenditures by U.S.
tourists is expected to rise at a rate of only
4.1 percent this year, compared to nearly twice
that much, 7.5 percent last year, according to
the Travel Industry Association of America and
guess what?
