Historic Folsom is Getting a Facelift!
January 22nd, 2010
The much anticipated Historic Sutter Street Revitalization Project is finally here. Yes, that’s right, after years of planning and dreaming, it’s finally here! On January 12th, The Folsom City Council awarded an $8.4 million construction contract to Teichert Construction. The project is scheduled to begin in February and will be “substantially completed” before the 2010 holiday season.
In typical Folsom style, we have the opportunity to celebrate TOGETHER…as a community – The Community Groundbreaking CELEBRATION will take place on Saturday, January 23rd at 10:00 a.m. on the corner of Sutter and Wool Streets, and I wouldn’t miss it!
Staging a Wedding is Like Staging a Home…Really?!?
January 11th, 2010
I’ve been looking for an excuse to let you know that my daughter, Chelsey, is engaged and planning an August wedding!!! And this is the perfect excuse…Let’s talk about staging.
I can stage a home practically blindfolded…it’s all about making the most of space, color, and light! I can walk clients through the process of buying or selling the home of their dreams with ease, but planning a wedding is something entirely new to me! The last wedding I planned was my own…26 years ago, and quite honestly, my mother did most of the planning. So, I enlisted help…actually, my sister, enlisted some help for us.

This seems like a nonsensical question to ask, but it is one that must be considered when purchasing a home in California…and one of the many pieces of information the Buyer has access to through the disclosure process. Thanks to the Megan’s Law website, the whereabouts of registered sex offenders is a matter of public record.

Relatively speaking, it’s been a good month for the United States’ consumer! From home buyer tax credits, to unemployment benefits, to bank overdraft fees, to gift cards…someone is looking out for your best interest!
New Home Buyer Tax Credit
Congress has passed new legislation that extends the first time home buyers tax credit, and expands it to include more home buyers:
- Extends the First-Time Home Buyer Tax Credit of up to $8,000 to first-time home buyers until April 30, 2010.
- Expands the credit to grant up to $6,500 to current home owners (who have been residing in their primary residence for 5 of the last 8 years) purchasing a new or existing home between November 7, 2009 and April 30, 2010.
- Increases the income eligibility limits to claim the full credit amount (for both groups of home buyers) to $125,000 for individuals and $225,000 for couples. Both credits are limited to home purchases of $800,000 or less.
