NEWS ITEM TWO

Congress has approved an $8000 tax credit for first time home buyers and for any folks who have not owned property in the last three years.
The finalized version of the bill provides for an $8000 tax credit that would be available to first time home buyers* for the purchase of a principal residence on or after January 1, 2009 and before December 1, 2009. The credit does not require repayment. The credit will be claimed on a tax return to reduce the buyer's tax obligation. If any credit amount remains unused, the unused amount will be refunded as a check to the purchaser.
* first time home buyer is defined as not having owned a home within the last three years.


My Take - 5% interest rates and cash back from Uncle Sam when a purchase is made before the deadline later this year means buyers will be stepping up for action. This may be the greatest opportunity for many to grab the American dream that we will face. The greatest opportunity comes during times of the greatest change. I do not think sitting on the sidelines is the way to go. I am recommending action to my customers. I do not want to be forced to say " I missed it"... Get with it. If you are considering buying, call your Realtor today. If you are in a home and have a mortgage, call a trusted lender and see if the economic plan can help you too.

I would love to speak with you about your circumstances - regardless of what they are. A personal conference may be arranged at your convenience to discuss your real estate and financing needs. - ---archer---->

Val Kilmer ponders run for NM governor in 2010

Val Kilmer ponders politics in New Mexico: 'If I run, I'm going to be the next governor'....

Ok Val,

We (I) love your movies. We love your desire to give back and the desire to help others. Please don't get (too) cocky and let those around you steer you into poor decisions?

It doesn't work here like it does out in LA. Those cats have their way. We have ours. I know you've seen that first hand since you've been here in NM.

Anyway good luck Val - Trust the heart. It knows what's right, and you won't get too far off track if you follow it.. (most sincerely --archer---->)

Lt Governor Denish better watch out... Other Celebs turned politico: Ronnie, Arnold, Franken, Jesse, etc.. who's next?

Governor Kilmer - has a nice ring to it. Looking forward to meeting you in the flesh. Jam sessions in Silver City can be fun.....

Proposed Tax Credit Will Spur Home Buying

The US Congress is considering quick action that may help to spur sales in a struggling business environment.

The new credit, approved by the Senate Wednesday night, works like this:

Buyers would get 10 percent of the purchase price of any home, up to $15,000, applied to their tax bill.

Consumers would be allowed to spread out the credit over two years, making it possible for those who pay less than $15,000 in taxes to benefit.

Anyone who buys a home within a year of the bill's signature would qualify.

To deter speculators, buyers must occupy the house as their main residence for at least two years.

Interest rates at historic lows, tax credits for first time home buyers, more tax credits proposed for all home buyers, and motivated (forced and unwilling) sellers clawing to be first to get their property sold,... all these things are making this THE time to take action and look at purchasing.

Opportunity knocks. Can't you hear it? See it? Smell it? It is in the air. Wake up.. I hope you don't have to say " I missed the best opportunity of the decade"...

It can be once in a lifetime chance for many to score big by working with a savvy team of professionals. Starting with a Realtor who knows the market, and who works at providing real value and real service to customers. I am the Realtor to call. Please call Archer today for a private discussion.
