As summer turns to fall, many buyers are entering the market - largely due to the 8k tax credit available to those who have not owned a home in the past three years. This tax credit is only good for buyers that close on their new home buy December 1, 2009. It's a great way to help you become a first time homebuyer, and help keep more money in your pocket!
If you have been on the fence about purchasing, or about the timing for you to sell your existing home, I would love to talk with you. Please give me a call or send a quick email.
Each situation is unique, and perspective is key. I'll help bring an honest opinion together with the highest level of service for a winning outcome. I look forward to talking with you!
Best regards,
Krista Ingram

Don't Pass Up Your Free $8,000!
The saying "money doesn't grow on trees" is true.... most of the time. However, the first-time home buyer's tax credit is sure putting this saying to the test! The economic stimulus package signed into law provides a tax credit of up to $8,000 for first-time buyers who purchase a home before Dec. 1.
Unlike an earlier tax credit, this one doesn't have to be repaid. The credit phases out for taxpayers whose adjusted gross income exceeds $75,000, or $150,000 for married couples.
The term "first-time home buyer" is a bit of a misnomer. If you haven't owned a home in the past three years, you qualify. If your spouse has owned a home in the past three years, however, you're not eligible.
The credit is refundable, which means that even if you owe less than $8,000 when you file your 2009 tax return, you'll receive a refund for the balance. This feature makes the credit a valuable tax break for middle- or low-income families who pay little or no federal income tax.
To qualify for this tax break, you must close on the home by Dec. 1. So hurry! If you or someone you know could benefit from this tax credit we have to get the ball rolling soon!

Survey Says!... People Moving For Happier Reasons
People have gone back to moving in hopes it will improve their lives rather than moving to escape foreclosure or other aspects of the economic crisis, according to a survey of recent movers released this month by Relocation.com.
In the June survey, nearly 42 percent said they were in the process of buying a home or planning to buy one. Poll participants said their reason for moving was:
- To live in a bigger or better home (26 percent).
- To live in a better neighborhood or area (24 percent).
- To be closer to family or friends (12 percent).
- To live in an area with a lower cost of living (9 percent).
- To accommodate a change in marital status (6 percent).
Moving because of school, job loss, retirement, or foreclosure each generated 3 percent or less.
Responses to this survey are substantially different from the responses to a similar survey in March, when 41 percent said the recession was, at least partially, driving their move.

The highest compliment I can receive is the referral of your friends, family, and business associates. For referrals out of state I work hard to pre-screen agents, ensuring that the BEST agent is chosen for their buying or selling experience!
