BUYING A HOME JUST GOT CHEAPER!!!!

The tax credit extension has PASSED!!! Buyers who have owned their current home at least 5 years will be eligible for tax credits of up to $6,500!! Still, first-time homebuyers (or anyone who hasn't owned a home in the last 3 years) will still get up to $8,000. To qualify, buyers in both groups have to sign a purchase agreement by April 30, 2010 and close by June 30.

This is like an early Christmas gift from Uncle Sam!!!! Call one of our Real Estate specialists to find out more or to start looking NOW for that new home while inventories are high and rates are low!!!

TAX CREDIT UPDATE!!

In a recent newsletter from Don Hogan with Cendera Funding mortgage company, he reported the following:

"New Home Sales were reported last week, showing a 7.5-month supply of inventory. While that number is slightly worse than last month's 7.3 reading, it's still a big improvement from where we were in January. Back in January, inventory levels reached a high of 12.4-month supply! The improvement in housing inventories has been due in large part to the $8,000 First Time Homebuyer Tax Credit, which is set to expire on November 30.

There is a real possibility of an extension of this program through a proposed Bill, but it is not yet a certainty. The extension Bill still must be reconciled between the House and Senate, and then voted on for final approval. Under the current extension proposal, sales with signed purchase agreements by April 30th that close before June 30th, 2010 would qualify for the credit.

Another positive element would be the possible addition of $6,500 tax credit for other primary home purchasers, meaning the tax credit would no longer be limited only to first-time homebuyers. There is also a possibility that qualifying income limits could increase from $75,000 to $125,000 for singles, and from $150,000 to $250,000 for joint tax filers. "
