Don't Miss Out on the Federal Home Buyer Tax Credit - The Clock is Ticking!

Monday, March 15th, 2010 at 3:32pm. 80 Views, 0 Comments.

It's never too late to buy a new home.  Several factors are converging to make this the perfect time to buy a home. Interest rates are at historic lows.  Inventory levels are high which means there are plenty of choices for buyers at good prices. And Uncle Sam is offering a 10% tax credit up to maximum of $8,000, for first time or other eligible  buyers who have not owned a home in the three years previous to the purchase.  Why pay the mortgage on your landlord's property when you can be accumulating equity in the property yourself?

I just want to share a couple of stories of folks who have recently purchased a home and taken advantage of the tax credit.

I received a call from a young woman in her twenties, who was interested in renting a one-bedromm…

Are you unsure about becoming a Homeowner?

Tuesday, February 16th, 2010 at 1:54pm. 81 Views, 0 Comments.

More than two thirds of American households own their own home.  They know the benefits of homeownership, from the accumulation of home equity, tax incentives, and the pride of owning a place of their own.  And homeownership adds to the value of communities and has positive effects on children.

But buying a home can be an intimidating process. The first step is deciding if: I want to own a home; if I can afford a home; and if owning a home makes sense for me financially and emotionally.  Once you make the decision to become a homeowner, you may then start to wonder if it’s worthwhile to wait to purchase a home until prices are at their lowest.  Price is not the only factor to drive your decision.  Currently, interest rates are at generational lows that…

Is a neighborhood with a HOA/POA right for me?

Monday, January 4th, 2010 at 2:47pm. 96 Views, 0 Comments.

When shopping for a home, it’s not unusual to find one in a neighborhood that has a Property Owner Association or a Homeowner Association, commonly referred to as a POA or HOA. The Community Associations Institute trade association estimated that POA’s governed 23 million American homes and 57 million residents in 2006. The POA collects dues from property owners in order to cover expenses involved in whatever duties the POA is charged with. The dues and duties vary by community, so it’s important to know exactly what is covered through a particular POA. For example, a community with single-family homes and few amenities may cover landscape maintenance, along with insurance and taxes for the common areas, whereas a townhome or condominium community may…
