Murray

It’s true folks.  The $8,000 first time home buyer tax credit has been extended until April 30th 2010.  1st time home buyers who buy a home, condo, or townhome will be eligible for this credit. 

Remember there are income restrictions.  Single buyers who make over $125,000 and and married couples who make over $225,000 will not be eligible for this tax credit.  Also, this credit is only for homes purchased that are under $800,000.

There is also a $6,500 tax credit for current home owners buying a home that have lived in or owned their property for 5 years.   Let me know if you have any questions about these programs.  Remember this tax credit is available if you buy a home in Murray, buy a home in West Jordan, or buy a home in Salt Lake City.  It is a nation-wide program.
