As reported by National Association of Realtors:
“The package of tax extensions approved by the U.S. House and Senate, and headed to the President’s desk for signature, includes important provisions that will help distressed homeowners and commercial property investors with transactions made during 2014. NAR applauds Congressional leaders in both chambers for their effort to pass this legislation before adjournment.
“Realtors® strongly supported the bipartisan Mortgage Forgiveness Tax Relief Act, which was included in the package to prevent underwater borrowers from paying taxes on any mortgage debt forgiven or cancelled by a lender in a workout or after their home was sold for less money than was owed. We are grateful to Sens. Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., and Dean Heller, R-Nev., and Reps. Tom Reed, R-N.Y., and Charlie Rangel, D-N.Y., for championing the provision.
“The legislation also includes one-year extensions of the 15-year depreciation schedule for leasehold improvements and the deduction for improvements to energy efficient commercial buildings.”

I am happy to be able to report that the DABR has voted to implement the use of this technology in our area and I am SOOOO Excited to be able to offer this additional feature for those who are looking to SELL their property in the future. If you have questions, feel free to contact me. Click on link below for the “official” announcement:
Board President Announces Electronic Lockbox Decision
UPDATE: In an unprecedented move – the Board of Directors had a motion to put this to Membership Vote AFTER being approved. The general membership discounted the Task Force / Board Approval and VOTED DOWN ELECTRONIC LOCK BOXES. Sadly, this may well be a dead issue for our area irregardless of the better technology and benefits for our clients.

How do YOU feel about the subject? CLICK HERE TO TAKE 3 QUESTION SURVEY
Well, if you’ve been a client of mine – you know that I SUPPORT the use of Electronic Lockboxes…and you know the many reasons why.
1) Accountability as to who / when someone has been to your house and used the lockbox (this is the best tool for Sellers who are otherwise unsure that an Agent showed up for their showing…see Reason #2) as the lockbox automatically logs the activity from the designated user when they access the key through the box.

If you keep watching the price of gas and are concerned about how you might get to work…this is an exciting program that has continued to grow – and from a recent report – will expand to include more BIKE SHARE opportunities. (If you have never experienced our bath paths – you should check them out!!)
Across the U.S., more than 25 cities of various sizes have launched bike share transportation systems. Dayton’s bike share program will feature 22 strategically located stations, all within an approximate two mile radius of downtown Dayton. Each station will contain six to 10 bikes, totaling more than 200 bikes in the system. Customers — who range from one-day users to annual subscribers — unlock the bikes and may ride to any other station or back to the original location at the end of their trip.
Bike sharing offers several economic, livability, transportation, environmental and health benefits to the businesses, employees and residents in downtown Dayton and surrounding neighborhoods. Bike share programs add to urban vibrancy, are highly desired by young professionals, and greatly improve the connectivity of existing public transit by completing the “last mile” between a transit stop and a user’s final destination.
Now, make a plan to check out the bike paths and keep on PEDDLING!
