First Time Home Buyers

Tax Credit Extended & Reasons you shouldn’t wait to BUY A NEW HOME

Wednesday, November 11th, 2009

1. New Federal Tax Credit.
The home buyer tax credit has been extended for first-time home buyers and also expanded to certain qualified repeat buyers. See if you qualify!

First-time home buyers may qualify for up to $8,000 and repeat buyers up to $6,500; plus income limits have been raised. Don’t wait – homes must have a signed contract by? April 30, 2010. Learn more: Federal Housing TaxCredit.com

2. Low Interest Rates
Interest rates remain at near record lows. Now is a great time to lock in at a great interest rate and a payment that fits your budget

3. Unbeatable Investment Opportunities
Even in down markets, in the long term house prices appreciate and with home prices at a low right now, it’s a great time to invest in a home that will appreciate in the next few years.

4. Available Loans
Right now lenders are still eager to loan to individuals who have good credit.

5. Great Selection of Homes
With so many homes on the market right now, it is a great time to find a home you can afford that also has the features you want.

6. Energy Efficiency
New homes have many energy efficient features that help you save on utility costs, as well as rebates for using them.

With the federal tax credit extended and many other benefits available right now, it is one of the best times to take advantage of purchasing a home.

First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit in Provo, UT

Wednesday, September 9th, 2009

As a reminder to everyone who is a first-time home buyer in Provo and throughout Utah – the tax credit for $8,000 is still available. With the tax credit and the availability of so many nice homes in Provo, now is one of the best times ever for the first-time home buyer to get into a home. I recommend that you take advantage of the bank owned and short sale properties available. Though working with lenders can require some patients with short sales, now is a great time to get deep discounts on great homes in Provo and other Utah County areas. Remember that first-time home buyer means someone who has not owned a home in the last three years.

In addition to the tax credit for the first-time home buyer, Utah also has a grant called The Home Run 2 Grant. The Home Run 2 Grant was launched recently by Governor Gary Herbert and provides $4,000 to be used towards buying down interest, closing costs or down payment. The only contingency is that it has to be on a brand new, never been lived in home. Here is another great opportunity to save money and get into a nice home.
