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---->
