The new version of the Homebuyer’s Tax Credit still has the $8000 for First Time Homebuyers, as the version expiring November 30th had. It also allows $6500 for “move-up” buyers, provided they have been in their home more than 5 years. There is an income cap of $125,000 for individuals and $225,000 for couples. Also, there is a price cap of $800,000 for the purchased home.
The time is getting late for those that wish to take advantage of the Tax Credit for First Time Home Buyers, but for those that are going to hit the marks, or for others that might be in their first home, here is a pretty cool site that I ran across…
The company that put the site up is American Home Shield. They are a home warranty company… keep that in mind as you surf the site. There is still some good information, and some contests that might net you a few freebies…
If you haven’t already bought a home, and want to get it done before November 30th… the clock is ticking. Better call me right away…
