First-Time Homebuyer Tax Credit! 

The bill provides for a $8,000 tax credit that is 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.

* A first-time home buyer may have purchased a home before!  But, they can not have held an interest in a property in the 3 years prior to this new purchase.

"When opportunity knocks...answer!"

If you feel confident about your job, why would you wait to buy?  Interest rates are low, and renting is no way to spend your hard-earned money.  You will have nothing to show for it in the short or long run.  With that first home you can leverage your equity to move up to your dream home in the future. 

Yes, BANKS ARE LENDING MONEY!!!!!!

Rates are low.  Really low.  Banks do have money and they are lending it.  If you have good credit (not perfect) you can get a loan with only 3.5% down.  This is a Federal Housing Administration Insured loan from your choice of many reputable lenders.  Conventional loans are also available at only 5% down.  NC State Employees Credit Union have some VERY attactive terms as well.  I would be happy to recommend some good lenders when you call.

"You can't control the wind, but you can control the sails."

These are challenging times, which bring with them some great opportunities. Interest rates are at historic lows, and sellers are more flexible than ever, even in the robust area in which we live. But you say, you want to wait till you can get top dollar for your existing home? Well, when that happens, the home you go to buy will be commanding top dollar too. So why wait? Consider if this might not be the perfect time to move on up!

Selling? 

The National Association of Realtors has documented that sellers marketing with a professional put 16% more money in their pocket from the sale of their home.  Marketing pays!  Professional negotiations reap big rewards.  But, not all agents are the same. With my detailed marketing plan you will experience great results.
