Not too late to get the TAX CREDIT

Scott Killian — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 00:53:00 GMT

Please call Scott at 817-703-1165 to start your new house search.

Even if you do not qualify, it is a great time to sell because your house will probably be sold to someone who does qualify.

$8,000 First-time Home Buyer Tax Credit at a Glance

The $8,000 tax credit is for first-time home buyers only. For the tax credit program, the IRS defines a first-time home buyer as someone who has not owned a principal residence during the three-year period prior to the purchase.
The tax credit does not have to be repaid unless the home is sold or ceases to be used as the buyer’s principal residence within three years after the initial purchase.
The tax credit is equal to 10 percent of the home’s purchase price up to a maximum of $8,000.
The tax credit applies only to homes priced at $800,000 or less.
The tax credit now applies to sales occurring on or after January 1, 2009 and on or before April 30, 2010. However, in cases where a binding sales contract is signed by April 30, 2010, a home purchase completed by June 30, 2010 will qualify.
For homes purchased on or after January 1, 2009 and on or before November 6, 2009, the income limits are $75,000 for single taxpayers and $150,000 for married couples filing jointly.
For homes purchased after November 6, 2009 and on or before April 30, 2010, single taxpayers with incomes up to $125,000 and married couples with incomes up to $225,000 qualify for the full tax credit.

The $6,500 Move-Up / Repeat Home Buyer Tax Credit at a Glance

To be eligible to claim the tax credit, buyers must have owned and lived in their previous home for five consecutive years out of the last eight years.
The tax credit does not have to be repaid unless the home is sold or ceases to be used as the buyer’s principal residence within three years after the initial purchase.
The tax credit is equal to 10 percent of the home’s purchase price up to a maximum of $6,500.
The tax credit applies only to homes priced at $800,000 or less.
The credit is available for homes purchased after November 6, 2009 and on or before April 30, 2010. However, in cases where a binding sales contract is signed by April 30, 2010, the home purchase qualifies provided it is completed by June 30, 2010.
Single taxpayers with incomes up to $125,000 and married couples with incomes up to $225,000 qualify for the full tax credit.

New Testimonial

Scott Killian — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 21:19:00 GMT

Testimonial:

I had a rental home in Euless that had been trashed by the last tenants. I decided it was time to sell, but I live in CA and it was going to be difficult to repair it and sell it from such a long distance. I gave Scott a call to see if he could help me sell. Scott took on this project immediately, and arranged for cleanup and repair of all the damage. He personally took his own time to oversee everything. Within a month the house was ready to sell, and within weeks I had an offer and we made the deal without me even needing to travel to TX.

I never could have done this so quickly and easily without Scott's help. It's tough to trust someone that you have only met through a telephone call, but he came through on everything he said he would. I would highly recommend him.
