No doubt about it, it’s been a good summer. It can’t even come close to comparing to last summer when I wondered if we would ever sell a home again.

Why the ending of the Federal Home Buyer Tax Credit is a good thing………

Tuesday, April 6th, 2010

As most of you know, the end of the tax credit is just a few short weeks away on April 30, 2010. Under the guidelines, you have to be “under contract” by April 30, and then close the transaction by June 30, 2010 in order to receive the either $8000 First Time Buyer credit or the $6500 Move Up Buyer credit.

Tax Credit Countdown

Monday, March 8th, 2010

Ok, here we go again. We are roughly 45 days away from the Federal Tax credit expiring for would-be home buyers.

Sure, as a new home buyer you are going to get your $8000 tax credit for buying a home (provided you close before the deadlines) and you will begin to “itemize” your tax deductions (real estate property taxes, mortgage interest, and points) going forward each year. All of these can potentially save you allot of money on your federal taxes which one of the many reasons people chose to buy rather than rent.

Monday, December 28th, 2009

“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times; it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness; it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity; it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness; it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair; we had everything before us, we had nothing before us; we were all going directly to Heaven, we were all going the other way.”
