HGTV's House Hunters in St. Louis - Starring Yours Truly


As promised in my earlier post, I'm back to give you the update on our episode of House Hunters. The show is set to air April 25, 2010 at 7pm. So, set your DVRs because you won't want to miss one heart pounding second of the this thrill ride. You'll be on the edge of your seat as Josh and Amy decide. Will it be House #1, #2 or wait, maybe it's #3? Tune in to find out.

And if you were wondering, I have not seen an advance copy of the show, so I'll be just as curious as you to see if I'm TV's next great reality star. Who knows, maybe they'll cast me in the next season of Jersey Shore. If so, I'll need to come up with a good nickname. Any suggestions?

Another Incentive For 2010 Missouri Home Buyers


Whether or not you bought into President Obama's message of hope and "Change We Can Belive In", you'll probably be interested to hear about Missouri's new incentive called HOPE that introduces a change you can cash in on.

Many home buyers understand the great opportunity they've been given to purchase a new home in today's "buyers' market". There are several factors that contribute to making home buying so affordable right now including lower home prices, historically low interest rates and federal tax credits. Now the Missouri Housing Development Commission (MHDC) is offering an up to $1750 property tax incentive for the purchase of a home in 2010. This incentive is available for first-time buyers, as well as, repeat buyers. The MHDC is allocating $15 million towards the program which is available on a first-come, first-served basis until it runs out.

For more information on the program including eligibility and income limitations, please visit their website. You can also find there a pretty helpful list of FAQs.
