Senate Negotiators Reach Agreement to Extend Home Buyer Tax Credit
November 1st, 2009 4:35 PM

The First Time Home Buyers Tax Credit has helped the worst real market since the Great Depression begin to recover.  The $8000 credit is set to expire on November 30, 2009, however many are pushing to extend the credit.   Over the last few days, multiple media sources have reported that senate negotiators have reached an agreement to extend the tax credit until April 30th, but it's passage remains uncertain. 

The agreement has been expanded to include certain move-up home buyers as well.  This new credit would be extended to all home buyers who have been in their residence for a five-year consecutive period up to $6500.  The tax credit extension would be extended to all buyers under contract by April 30, and closed by June 30, 2010.  It's been proposed to increase income limits to $125,000 for singles and $250,000 for couples.  The credit would be phased out for buyers earning more than these amounts.

The real estate market has been weak nationwide, however the first time home buyer credit has been a boost to the market recovery.   The recovery has been slightly slowed down by the drop in new home sales in September that was reported last week.  Economists and real estate professionals believe an extension of the credit would help improve the market and the economy.

EXIT Realty Shows Agents How To Keep More of Their Hard Earned Money in Winston Salem, NC
June 19th, 2009 3:24 PM

The 1970’s brought the first real estate franchise companies. Many agents still find themselves wondering how paying the high fees charged by some of the companies helps them in their local market. The 1980’s brought the desk fee model where ongoing fees are charged whether or not transactions are being completed.

Get The First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit In Your Pocket Sooner Than Next Year
May 26th, 2009 9:03 AM

Recent legislation has been changed related to the First Time Home Buyer’s Tax Credit. This change was made to get money into the hands of home buyers more quickly to hopefully stimulate the economy. The IRS now allows the tax credit to be claimed on the 2008 tax return. For taxpayers who have bought or will buy in 2009, they may file an amended return by filling out IRS Form 5405 to receive the credit sooner. For homes that were purchased in 2008, the tax credit must be paid back over a 15 year period. For homes bought in 2009, the tax credit does not have to be paid back.

The First-Time Homebuyer credit is an excellent tax break for someone looking to purchase a home for the first time. Once you have made the decision to purchase a home in the Winston Salem area, contact me to assist you in your search. I offer several free tools to help speed up and narrow down your search to find your dream home. You can reach me at (336) 287-4423 or toll free at (877)-6GO-EXIT.
