Take Action Now! Support Homebuyer Tax Credit Extension

DERRI DAVISSON — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 22:27:15 +0000

CALL, WRITE OR VISIT YOUR ELECTED OFFICIALS.

LET THEM KNOW WE NEED THIS EXTENSION.

Senate leaders have agreed on an extension of the $8,000 first-time homebuyer tax credit along with a new $6,500 tax credit for move-up buyers, but it is unclear when the chamber will vote on the measure. The credit extension would run from Dec. 31, 2009 through April 30, 2010 and give buyers with a binding contract an extra 60 days to close. The tax credit extension raises the income limits to $125,000 for single-filers and $225,000 for joint filers. This applies to first-time and repeat buyers. To qualify for the $6,500 tax credit, repeat buyers must have used a previous home as a principal residence for five of the previous eight years. The Obama administration said it supports an extension of the first-time homebuyer tax credit. “In extending the tax credit, we urge Congress to include strict measures to combat tax fraud and protect responsible homeowners,” Treasury secretary Timothy Geithner said. The tax credit extension is expected to be attached to a bill extending unemployment benefits by 20 weeks. Still, it is unclear when the Senate will pass the extension bill (H.R. 3548), despite broad bi-partisan support. The current $8,000 first-time homebuyer tax credit is set to expire Nov. 30.

EVERY ONE OF US NEEDS A STRONGER REAL ESTATE MARKET.

HOPE FOR THE REAL ESTATE MARKET

DERRI DAVISSON — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 21:33:30 +0000

TELL EVERYONE YOU KNOW TO TELL EVERYONE THEY KNOW TO TELL THEIR LEGISLATORS TO SUPPOR THIS:

H.R. 1245, the Homebuyer Tax Credit Act of 2009.

This legislation would replace the current tax credit for first-time homebuyers with a one-time credit for 10 percent of the purchase price of a principal residence, up to $15,000. This new tax credit would be available for one year after it is signed into law, giving homebuyers more time to take advantage than the current tax credit, which expires on November 30th.

All of us need a better real estate environment! Please spread the word.

H.R. 1245 remains pending before the House Committee on Ways and Means.

PERFECT MARKET CONDITIONS?

DERRI DAVISSON — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 11:20:23 +0000

almost…

At this time last year, interest rates for home mortgages were around 6% or about $600/month per $100,000. Today, mortgage interest rates have dropped into the 4’s or $400/mo per $100k. A huge increase in buying power!

These are the lowest rates we’ve seen in months, creating a window of opportunity where record low rates combine with the lowest prices in years to create a perfect real estate environment. Economists predict that rates will soon increase, so now really is the time to take action.

Make your real estate decision today – don’t be one of the ones who wish they had taken advantage of this opportunity. I can help you decide if now is the right time for you.
