Auburn AL, June 30 –After a close brush with the deadline, Congress has passed an extension of the Homebuyer Tax Credit for all Auburn AL first-time homebuyers closing deadline, the Homebuyer Assistance and Improvement Act (H.R. 5623). This will enable Auburn AL homebuyers who because of one reason or another couldn’t close by June 30 still receive the First-Time Homebuyers Tax Credit. The extension applies only to transactions that have ratified contracts in place as of April 30, 2010 that have not yet closed. The legislation is designed to create a seamless extension to help all homebuyers across the nation and in Auburn AL. The new closing deadline for eligible transactions is now September 30, 2010. There will be no gap between June 30 and the date the President signs the bill into law. NAR worked closely with Congressional leaders on both sides of the aisle to enact this important legislation.
The National Association of Realtors® today commended Congress for timely passage of bill to extend the home buyer tax credit closing deadline. They now head to the president for his signature. Extending the tax credit closing deadlines will help provide additional stability to real estate markets across the nation, said NAR.

Improving energy efficiency means getting the most out of each unit of energy consumed in your Auburn AL home. Some examples include: installing a programmable thermostat or replacing standard light bulbs with compact fluorescent light bulbs which use less energy while supplying the same amount of light.
Here are some things you can do to save money and improve energy efficiency around your Auburn AL home:
Clean or replace ventilation system filters each month.
Close shades on the sunny side of your home on hot days.
Install ceiling fans to help cool the house.
Install a programmable thermostat.
Conduct a home energy audit or hire a professional to conduct one and develop an energy efficiency plan for the whole house. Check out DOE’s online publication, Home Energy Audits for more information.
If your home uses electricity, consider installing an energy-efficient heat pump.
Consider replacing an older central air-conditioning system with a newer “Energy-Star” rated system which can be twice as efficient as existing equipment.
Replace old style single-pane windows with newer double-pane models, made with special materials to reduce energy loss or reflect the sun’s rays. The model recommended depends upon the climate in your area.

Auburn AL Realtor Earns Short Sale and Forelcosure Designation
Rick Coffin, a Realtor who helps both buyers and sellers with foreclosures in Auburn and Opelika Alabama and works at Weichert, Realtors® - Porter Properties has earned the nationally recognized Short Sales & Foreclosure Resource certification (SFR).
The National Association of Realtors® (NAR) offers the SFR certification to Realtors® who want to help both Auburn AL buyers and Auburn AL sellers navigate these complicated transactions, as demand for professional expertise with distressed sales grows.
According to a recent NAR survey, nearly one-third of all existing homes sold recently were either short sales or foreclosures. For many real estate professionals, short sales and foreclosures are the new “traditional” transaction. Realtors® who have earned the SFR certification know how to help sellers maneuver the complexities of short sales as well as help buyers pursue short sale and foreclosure opportunities.
Coffin is an 24 year army veteran actively involved in the Disabled American Veterans (DAV) organization and is a member of the Government Affairs and Equal Housing committees for the Lee County Association of Realtors® in Auburn AL.
The certification program includes training on how to qualify sellers for short sales; negotiate with lenders; protect buyers and limit risk; and provides resources to help Realtors® stay current on national and state-specific information as the market for these distressed properties evolves. To earn the SFR certification, Realtors® are required to take one core course and three Webinars.
