A fresh look in your home by a stager, with a little or sometimes no investment for accessories and furniture on your part, can impart a new image.   This past weekend, I had to hire a home stager and I interviewed a couple of local home stagers, but I was very impressed with Gerrie Beck from Maxispace Staging and Redesign.  

I had asked a couple of Realtors for references, and Gerrie's name came up as highly recommended.  Once I met Gerrie Beck from Maxispace Staging and Redesign  I asked  her  ....  

Why home stage your home before you sell in Norfolk - Virginia or why redesign?   This is what she had to say "If you want a new perspective for your home, or a room, redesign can help accomplish this.  With some new accessories, and placement of your furniture to bring about a creation that will give a unique visual impression, you will be surprised at what can be accomplished.  Personal shopping services are available to recreate your new interior.

Fannie Mae incentives and Federal Income Tax Credit for home buyers in Chesapeake - Virginia

Fannie Mae Incentives and Federal Income Tax Credit for home buyers in Chesapeake - Virginia

A 3.5% incentive is being offered for the purchase of a Fannie Mae-owned house. This is only for home buyers who close the purchase of a home between January 28 and April 30, 2010. Buyers of homes in Chesapeake Virginia will receive up to 3.5% of the final price for: City Hall Chesapeake Virginia

- Closing costs

- New Whirlpool appliances

- Or a mix of both. Up to a maximum of 3.5%

The offer must be accepted and the deal must close before May 1, 2010. These incentives only apply to owner-occupants.

Individual lenders may impose limitations, so ask your lender to make sure they are participating fully on the program.

On top of that Chesapeake home buyers and sellers must take advantage of the Federal Income Tax Credit, which runs through April 30, 2010 with a 60 day cushion after that date to complete closing.

Some details:

- $8,000 tax credit for first-time home buyers in Chesapeake -Virginia.
- $6,500 tax credit for existing home owners who have lived in their current residence for at least five years but want to relocate to a new primary residence.

*** Consult an accountant, lender or attorney for specific details on refunds for these incentives*** I have referrals for all these sources.

Lets do the numbers on a Chesapeake home purchase of:

$ 200,000 x 3.5% = $7.000 plus $8.000 Tax credit = $15.000 //+$ 6.500 = $ 13.500

$ 250.000 x 3.5% = $8.750 plus $8.000 Tax credit = $ 16.750 //+$ 6.500 = $ 15.250

$ 300.000 x 3.5% = 10.500 plus $8.000 Tax credit = $ 18.500 //+$ 6.500 + $ 17.000
