The previous high was 44 percent in 1991.”

For those of you that own a home hopefully this $8,000 tax credit will help keep home prices stable and help keep home sales moving.   For those of you that are looking to buy a home and take advantage of low prices & low interest rates remember the first time home buyer tax credit expires the end of April 2010.  Also, remember it doesn’t matter if you buy a home in Murray, buy a home in West Jordan, or buy a home in Salt Lake, you are eligible for this tax credit.  To check out more info about this article I have attached a link.    http://www.realtor.org/press_room/news_releases/2009/11/survey_record

I had always dreamed about and looked forward to the day when I could call a place my very own.  After 10 years of paying rent, I knew I was ready to take that scary leap and finally buy a place of my very own.  I wasn’t sure how I was going to be able to do it all, buying a house can be very expensive.  I initially didn’t have a lot of money to put towards a down payment.  But with the help of a $6,000 housing grant that was being offered by the state and the $8,000 tax credit from the Federal government, I was able to purchase my first home and pay for new appliances, washer and dryer, window coverings, and all of the other little expenses you don’t think about when buying a new home.  And I still had some left over!  I’m so happy I finally decided to take that leap, it has been one of the best decisions I’ve made.                 -Elizabeth Jarvis

If you have questions about the $8,000 tax credit or grant money in Utah please contact me for more info.  Remember in order to get the $8,000 tax credit you must purchase your home before Dec. 1st of 2009.
