For any realtors and real estate agents reading this, or even homeowners looking to sell on their own, I also have a blog about real estate marketing and strategy, www.resonantblog.com. I’ve posted a few examples of work I’ve done marketing my past listings, a tutorial on using google maps, and more.

News about the Stimulus plan From Realtor.com:

 - To promote green jobs and energy independence, ARRA invests significantly in efforts to make homes and buildings more energy efficient.  The bill provides state and local governments with $6 billion in energy efficiency and conservation grants for energy audits, retrofits and financial incentives.  Through 2010, homeowners will be able to claim a 30% tax credit (up from 10%) for purchases of new furnaces, windows and insulation.  Another $5 billion will be available to modernize the nation’s electricity grid and install smart meters on homes that help to save consumers money.  There is also $5 billion for weatherization assistance for low income households and $2 billion for federally assisted housing ( section 8 ) efficiency efforts.
