It's slim pickings out there. And this year, the inventory crunch is even worse. Home inventory is now at a post-recession low, down 9.1 percent nationally in the third quarter compared to a year ago.And this winter isn't shaping up to break the trend, so buyers in many markets should be prepared for slimmer pickings. If you're committed to buying this winter, it may be time to widen your idea of what your dream home looks like or which block it's on.For first-time buyers, though, the outlook in winter is sunnier. The inventory of less-expensive starter homes actually increases by about 7 percent in the last three months of the year compared to the spring.

The upside of shopping in winter is that many would-be buyers call it quits till spring. That means less competition, a welcome reprieve for those disheartened by packed open houses and seemingly unwinnable bidding wars.Homes that are on the market in winter often have motivated owners who cannot wait that long. These homes, especially those that failed to sell in the fall and are still on the market, may be ripe for a lowball offer.

With fewer shoppers in the market, prospects brighten for buyers with an FHA loan. These loans, backed by the Federal Housing Authority, have looser requirements than conventional loans, making them less appealing to home sellers who are getting all-cash offers or conventional loan buyers with big down payments. In winter, home inspections may be more notable for what they don't include than what they do. Snow may cover the roof. Be aware of the gaps in the inspection and pay close attention to the age and type of the roof and air conditioner.

Interest rates shift more with economic conditions and policy decisions than with the seasons. And rates have been so stable, hovering around 4 percent all year.But don't get too complacent. The Federal Reserve recently hinted at future increases, and the Mortgage Bankers Association has predicted that the Fed will raise rates in December and three times in 2018, though they also predict that 30-year-mortgage rates will remain below 5 percent throughout the year. It's wise to watch this closely. If rates rise while you're house-hunting, it can make a real difference in what you can afford.

1. It could save you money.

It can seem daunting to make repairs before you list your home, but it can save you in the long run.

2. It could lead to a faster close.

Getting your house in the best shape possible should help speed up the sale process.

3. It can give you a competitive edge.

A prelisting home inspection can signal to potential buyers that you've done the due diligence on their future home. It can give potential buyers confidence in you as an honest seller and in the quality of the home you are selling.

4. Definitely fix the deal breakers.

5. What should you do if you can't fix the major problems?

If you can't afford to make those major improvements, you can still spruce up the house before you list it.

6. Is there a downside to a prelisting home inspection?

While there are many upsides to getting a prelisting home inspection, some experts don't like the idea. Some pros feel that instead of wasting time and money upfront, a seller should wait for the results of the home inspection and add repairs to the closing cost. While this is an option, you may be hit with a surprise that causes your sale to fall through.

7. Bottom line: Prelisting home inspections are often a good idea.

The prelisting home inspection can put a nervous seller at ease and give you a better chance for a fast and easy close.

You can deduct the interest you pay on your mortgage.

The home mortgage interest deduction is probably the best-known tax benefit for homeowners. This deduction allows you to deduct all the interest you pay toward your home mortgage.

You may be able to deduct points.

Points are essentially prepaid interest that you offer upfront at closing to improve the rate on your mortgage. The more points you pay, the better deal you get.

Depending on the year and your income level, you may be able to deduct PMI.

Private Mortgage Insurance, or PMI, protects the bank in the event you default. PMI may be required as a condition of a mortgage for first-time home buyers, especially if they can't afford a large down payment.

Real estate taxes are deductible.

Most banks or other mortgage lenders will factor the cost of your real estate taxes into your mortgage and put those amounts into an escrow account. You can't deduct the amounts paid into the escrow, but you can deduct the amounts paid out of it to cover the taxes. If you don't escrow for real estate taxes, you'll deduct what you pay out of pocket directly to the tax authority. And don't forget about those taxes you paid at settlement. If you reimburse the seller for taxes already paid for the year, you get to deduct those too.

Your other tax deductions may matter more.

To take advantage of these tax benefits, you have to itemize your deductions on your tax return.

You'll get capital gains tax relief down the road.

Resale value is something you considered when you chose your home. And different from other investments for which you're taxed on the full value of any gain, you can exclude some of the gain attributable to your home when you sell.

Under current law, you can avoid paying tax on up to $250,000 of gain ($500,000 for married filing jointly) so long as you have owned and lived in the property for two of the last five years (those years of owning and inhabiting don't have to be consecutive).

Gain over that amount is taxed at capital gains rates, which are generally more favorable than ordinary income tax rates.

So whether you are a first time home buyer looking for Taos or Angel Fire real estate, or you are a homeowner wanting to sell your Taos or Angel Fire real estate give the ladies at New Mexico Mountain Properties a call.
