First-time Home Buyer Tax Credit for 2010 – Get the full scoop

Tuesday, January 5th, 2010

home buyer tax credit 2010For almost two years, the Federal Goverment has offered first-time home buyers a tax credit if they purchase a home.  The parameters of the tax credit have changed quite a bit from 2008 to 2009 so there is a good chance that you are swimming in a sea of information on the internet.  To help break it down for you, to follow is a quick overview of the different programs:

 Summary of the First-Time Homebuyer Credit

2008: First-time home buyers would receive a tax credit of up to $7,500.  The credit would be PAID BACK to the government every year at tax time for 15 years (i.e you would pay back $500 per year). 

January thru November 2009: First time home buyers receive a tax credit of up to $8,000.  The credit DOES NOT need to be paid back.  Qualifying buyers must not make more than $75,000 per year ($150,000 for a married couple).  Buyers must PURCHASE their property by November 30, 2009.

December, 2009 thru April, 2010: First-time home buyers receive a up to $8,000 for first-time buyers, the credit DOES NOT have to be paid back.  Qualifying buyers can make up to $125,000 per year ($250,000 for a married couple).  Buyers must be UNDER CONTRACT on their home by April 30, 2010 and CLOSE (i.e. purchase) home by June 30, 2010.

A NEW INCENTIVE FOR CURRENT HOMEOWNERS (i.e. REPEAT HOME BUYERS)

Nov 7, 2009 – April 2010:  Home buyers who have lived in their home for 5 of the past 8 years can get up to $6,500 if they purchase a new home.  As above, the home buyer does NOT need to pay back the credit!  The new Federal tax credit is also known as the “Repeat Buyer” or “Move up Buyer” Tax Credit.  >>> GET MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THIS TAX CREDIT

Kudos to Keller Williams Realty

Tuesday, January 5th, 2010

keller williams real estate agents in atlanta georgiaIt’s been a fantastic year of recognition for my company, Keller Williams Realty, thanks to the dedication of the agents and the stellar leadership.

Here are just a few of the recent accolades for KW…

** Keller Williams Realty was ranked as the No. 1 real estate franchise on the 31st Annual Franchise 500 list by Entrepreneur magazine.

** Keller Williams was also voted the Most Recognizable Brand of Real Estate Franchises for 2009 in an industry-wide survey for the Swanepoel TRENDS Report.    

** Keller Williams Realty also received the highest overall satisfaction ratings from home buyers among the largest full-service real estate firms from J.D. Power and Associates for the second year in a row.

Personally, Keller Williams has been a tremendous asset to my business, especially in a shifting market.  With the top-notch education, daily motivation and one-on-one assistance, this has been my best year in the real estate business!

If you are an Atlanta real estate agent and are thinking of making a change in 2010, please give me a call — I would love to talk with you about Keller Williams.

If you are thinking of buying or selling a home in 2010, I would highly recommend that you interview at least 2 or 3 agents — and be sure that at least one of those agents is with Keller Williams.  I know you’ll be impresssed!
