Latest News on Tax Credit!

Temporary credit for home buyers: The bill increases the size of an existing temporary and refundable first-time home buyer credit to $8,000, up from $7,500. It also removes the requirement under current law that the credit be paid back if the buyer stays in the home for at least three years. And it would extend the credit's expiration date to Dec. 1, 2009, from July 1. Those eligible for this credit must have purchased a home after Jan. 1, 2009, and before Dec. 1, 2009.
The full credit is available to those making $75,000 or less ($150,000 for joint filers). Estimated cost: $6.6 billion.

$15,000 First Time Home Buyer Tax Break!

Click here for MSNBC article regarding this extraordinary tax bill.

If you are a first time home buyer, get out there and start looking before everyone else gets the "good ones"! I feel this is a breath of fresh air in a stale economy! Think of who will be the beneficiary of this change: your friendly mortgage banker, the appraiser, carpet installers, your local appliance store, home goods stores and hardware stores! Finally, it makes sense to start at the bottom and see that the sellers of the smaller home will move up and buy a larger home! It may be a slightly larger home, but people are being much more cautious which I applaud!

Have a good afternoon! Susan

Fresh Positive Numbers for Columbus Ohio

I must warn you that I had hesitated to post this as it was rather boring a bit at first glance. But, upon closer inspection, it truly does have an effect on our daily real estate business. If the PMI companies rate the areas as declining markets, then your home may not appraise even if you have a ready and willing buyer. That is especially true with relocating buyers. Their lenders are looking out for their best interest and their employer's interests as they may need to buy the home later should their employee move again. We have very few issues in the areas where we serve but did have one or two inquiries from appraisers last year about these very issues.

Number seven is a good place to be!
