If Congress drives the economy off the "fiscal cliff," wave goodbye to short sales that have helped the housing market get back on its feet.

At risk is a provision that erases taxes on selling a home for less than what's owed to the bank. Expiration of the tax treatment would create a major new headache for the one in four homeowners who owe more than their house is worth. Those "underwater" sellers would have to come up with a big check for Uncle Sam to pay the tax on the difference.

That “would be a blow to the housing recovery,” said Paul Diggle, a housing economist at Capital Economics. “The increased use of short sales, rather than foreclosures, has become an important support to the recovery.”

Times are Changing!!

The National Association of Realtors found that less than 3% of buyers found their property via print advertising (newspapers, magazines).  A Google study confirmed 97% of all home buyers look "on-line" before ever contacting a Realtor.

Time to think about how to spend those advertising $$ in 2013...
