Wow! I wish they’d had these tax credits available when I purchased my home. It’s a great time to be a home buyer– with the housing market in a slump, property prices are very low, and people and banks are eager to sell.
Coldwell Banker, that outstanding real estate company, has some information on the 2010 Homebuyer Tax Credits available to first-time and new home buyers. In a nutshell, here are the details:
If you are a first-time home buyer, or have not owned in the last three years, are eligible for an tax credit of up to $8,000.
If you own a home and have lived in the home as your principle residence for five out of the eight years you have owned your home, you can receive up to $6,500 in tax credit when purchasing a home.
There income limits and deadlines, so if you qualify, do not delay.
This video is good and has more information about the tax credits.
This is a great incentive to get the home market moving again. I love the Coldwell Banker website, too– I routine search for properties to keep tabs on property values in the country. You can search the website for home and property listings, too.
Be sure to definitely check this out to see if you qualify!
It’s so easy nowadays to find a home, thanks to the Net. Wow! I loved poring over homes for sale… dream dream! LeasePurchaseSearch.com has made it all very easy, too. It’s a website dedicated to helping prospective homeowners find the perfect home under a lease purchase contract (rent to buy). Thanks to the unstable housing market, property values have plummeted, which makes it a perfect time to get a home. Not everyone has all the money upfront for such a large purchase, and not everyone can get a big bank loan, either. A lease purchase option is a terrific way to work toward owning your own home.
The website makes searching very easy: you can search by city, state, zip code, home price, bedrooms, and bathrooms. The search results are clear cut– many have photos– and they offer details on the property, with contact information. Nice! No longer do you have to call dozens of realtors or scour the newspapers for availability of, for example, Lease Purchase Philadelphia opportunities. It’s a great way to search for a beautiful home.
Boy! I wish they had this website when I was younger and looking for studio apartments. Then again, I wish they’d had the INTERNET when I was younger!
Well, the Internet has changed everything, hasn’t it? You can find just about anything, including your next “pad”! There’s a nifty website where you can search specifically for studio apartments anywhere in the United States. Let’s say you live in Anchorage, and want to research Nashville Studio Apartments– just punch in the location (city and state name, or zip code) and any other data you want to include (price range, bathrooms, etc), and MyStudioApartments will search for apartments and generate the results very quickly. Search results include a photo if there is one, information about the apartment, a small paragraph about the location, leasing options where applicable, and information on the lendor or realtor involved. It’s very organized and everything is right at your fingertips. It’s great!
MyStudioApartments.com also has some articles for the studio renter, such as decorating tips, information on localities, and more. It’s nice and simple to use. If you or someone you know is needing to find a studio apartment, definitely take a peek. The website is free to use, and you can register for free, for added benefits.
