New John Wieland homes at Lenox View will be priced from the high $500s and offer at least 4000 square feet of finished space with 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, three car garages and optional third floor walk-ups.

Don’t Miss the April 30th Tax Credit Deadline

In: Tax Credit

20 Apr 2010

a-prv-nbh-0030-0409The popular $8,000 federal housing tax credit is set to expire April 30, 2010.  The tax credit gives a first time homebuyer a credit up to $8,000 and up to a $6,500 credit for a repeat homebuyer who has owned a home for five consecutive years out of the previous eight years.  At this time it does not appear that the government will be extending the tax credit. 

Time is short!  To take advantage of the tax credit a homebuyer must have a binding contract in place by April 30, 2010 and the sale must close by June 30, 2010.  Finally, the government will allow you to purchase your home in 2010 and claim it on your 2009 tax return. 

Act now!  Now is the best time to purchase your new home.  The federal tax credit combined with historically low rates and low home prices offers a unique opportunity to purchase your dream home.  For more information on the tax credit visit FederalHousingTaxCredit.com.

Why New? Why Now?

In: Best Time to Buy

16 Feb 2010

newissmarterAre you thinking about purchasing a new home but have been waiting for the market to turn around?  Well, wait no longer because now is the best time to purchase your new home. 

Since the housing recession began, almost four years ago, land values have dropped to pre-boom levels.  So what does that mean?  More affordable new homes!  The demand for housing has been fairly consistent; we simply saw the more affordable resale homes capture a larger share of the market.  The value of new homes was overburdened by high land cost.  However, the correction in the market has brought new home prices back down and now is the best time to purchase a new home.  

 So Why New? 

  1. New homes offer up-to-date plans and features for your lifestyle.
  2. A new home provides the security of a warranty, which eliminates hidden costs or unanticipated repairs.
  3. New home efficiency saves you money.
  4. New home purchasers often enjoy savings on homeowner’s insurance premiums.
  5. Today’s more stringent construction standards mean new homes meet tougher structural requirements.
  6. Up-to-date electrical means safer operation, more outlets and the ability to handle the latest in computer, cable and phone service. 

So Why Now? 

  1. Interest rates are at an all time low but will not stay there forever.
  2. Banks have normalized credit requirements and 95% loans are available.
  3. FHA loans are great solutions, requiring only a 3.5% down payment.
  4. The federal tax credit has been extended and expanded, which dramatically helps with cash down payments.  The tax credit expires April 30, 2010.
  5. Pricing has stabilized as inventory has come into balance.  The fear of down side has been nearly eliminated.
  6. The ‘Honey Do’ time can be reinvested in your families, your hobbies or just being you.

So don’t miss this opportunity.  Buy new and buy now.
