New
$8,000
First Time Homebuyer Tax Credit
is now
Available! |
|
The bill provides for a
$8,000 tax credit that would be available to
first-time home buyers for the purchase of a
principal residence on or after January 1, 2009 and
before December 1, 2009. The credit does not
require repayment. Most of the mechanics of the
credit will be the same as under the 2008 rules:
the credit will be claimed on a tax return to reduce
the purchaser's income tax liability. If any credit
amount remains unused, then the unused amount will
be refunded as a check to the purchaser.

Spring Thaw In Prices
and Rates, Plus Incentives Draw Home Buyers
May 06, 2009
|
|
 |
| |
|
The frozen housing
market appears to be thawing as more buyers are
finding the current historically low interest rates,
stabilizing prices and tax credit refund incentives
irresistible.
“Today’s market offers an incredible
opportunity with the unprecedented combination of a
40-year low in interest rates, prices returning to
normal levels in many markets, and limited-time tax
incentives,” said Joe Robson, chairman of the
National Association of Home Builders and a home
builder from Tulsa, Okla.
The number of homes under contract
increased in March, according to the National
Association of Realtors’ Pending Home Sales Index,
which increased 3.2 percent from February to March.
Optimism about the housing market is
on the rise as well, an April 16 Gallup Poll found
that 71 percent of Americans said that now is a
“good time” to buy a house, an 18 point increase
from one year ago and the highest level in four
years.
Natasha Smith had been monitoring
interest rates and home prices, but decided to take
the plunge when the $8,000 first-time home buyer tax
credit was enacted in February. The 25-year-old
closed on a condominium in the Washington, D.C.,
suburb of Hyattsville, Md., in April.
“I wasn’t in a rush as I continued to
watch prices fall, but when I heard about the $8,000
tax credit, I knew it was the perfect time to buy,”
she said. “Combined with the low home prices and
interest rates, the tax credit was the extra push I
needed to get out of the family home and into a home
of my own.”

home buyer tax credit, which ends on Nov. 30, go to:
