Posted by Dee Marie Fisher | Leave A Comment »
Green Hype VS. Green Value
Are you curious about where green real estate is heading in 2011…. a great Sustainability Consultant had the following predictions for Green Real Estate in 2011:
Green Value will replace Green Hype. - In green building certification circles, Energy Star overtakes LEED.
- ROI measurement becomes easier for investors.
- Opportunity is rapidly becoming obligation.
- Green products-faster, cheaper, more abundant.
- In 2010, approximately 40%* of your target market (buyers/renters) understood the value of paying more for green homes/apartments and were willing to pay a premium for those amenities. That number should double in 2011.
For more details go to Green Hype VS. Green Value.

What is the Small Business Jobs Act?
The Small Business Jobs Act of 2010 (2010 Jobs Act) requires information reporting for rental property expense payments of $600 or more that are made after December 31, 2010. This reporting requirement is one of several revenue raising provisions that are included to offset the $12 billion cost of tax relief provided by the legislation.
Generally, if a person (payor) makes payments to another person (payee) in connection with the payor’s trade or business totaling $600 or more during a calendar year, the payor is required to send the appropriate information return to the IRS and the payee. Under the 2010 Jobs Act, any individual taxpayer who receives real estate rental income is considered to be engaged in a “trade or business” for purposes of the information reporting requirements. This is true even for individuals engaged in a “passive investment activity” under general tax rules and principles.

Sizzling Summer To Coincide With Sizzling Selling Season
Posted by Dee Marie Fisher | Leave A Comment »
San Diego’s Real Estate Market is Heating Up!
With warm weather upon us, the season for buying and selling a home approaches quickly. Although the Federal Reserve is ending policies that have helped keep mortgage rates around 5 percent they are still at a historical low. The industry expects mortgage rates to rise, but not for some time.
One point that I found interesting in the North County Times article “HOUSING: As peak selling season begins, parts of market red-hot“, is that the federal and state governments installed policies that induced buyers into the market while cutting down on the number of homes available, thereby created the same problem that they were trying to resolve….. a mini housing bubble!
Do you think San Diego home prices will go up or down this summer? Let me know…. write comments, email me at [email protected] or give me a call at 619 742-0046. I’m real curious about your opinions….. Dee Marie Fisher
