Why is Tax Day April 18th?

Wondering why we had three extra days to get our taxes done this year? After all April 15th did fall on a Friday, which was a regular work day, right?

The tax code says that tax forms are due April 15th unless it falls on a Saturday, Sunday or Federal Holiday. None of these conditions applied.

However, Emanacipation Day, an official public holiday in Washington DC, which is usually celebrated April 16th, was moved to April 15th, a Friday, instead of Saturday, to give folks a day off. In recognition of this holiday, Tax Day was moved to April 18th.

To those who wait to the last minute - get to the post office today!

We at BuyWisconsinLand.com want to wish everyone a very Happy Easter!

Property Priced to Sell

Most people when making a purchase of any item first check out the price. It's our guide to the value of that item. And if we feel the item is worth the amount being asked we will consider buying it.

The same principle applies to Real Estate, but price and value can sometimes seem harder to determine.

In this article from the blog of Lisa Udy, Broker Of Platinum Real Estate Group In Logan Utah, she is giving information to help Sellers to properly price their listing. When you are buying property, it helps to know what information has gone into coming up with the value of the real estate, so you can determine what price you are willing to pay for it.
