Welcome to www.541realestate.com, your source for commercial and residential real estate in Southern Oregon. In todays real estate market foreclosures and short sales make up about 30% of the market. Many of our lives have been touched by the economy and we have possibly been put into a position where short sale or foreclosure are viable options. With that said, I have taken on the task to become educated on these topics and would like to be a resource to you. If you would like to see if a short sale would work for you, or if you are looking into purchasing one yourself please give me a call to set up a prequalification interview. There are many things to consider when selling or purchasing these properties, you need the help of a qualified professional. I recently completed my studies to become SFR certified, this designation is the only short sale and foreclosure certification recognized by the National Association of Realtors and gave me much insight and many resources to assist in these transactions. Don't forget the Home Buyer Tax Credit has been extended into the first quarter of 2010. If you have not purchased a home in 3 years you may still qualify, if you want to take advantage of this great incentive we need to get the home into escrow before April 5, 2010! Time is running out, don't miss the deadline. The First Time Home Buyer Credit is a great reason to buy your first home now. Home prices are low, interest rates are low, and now you can still take advantage of the $8000 credit!
In addition to extending the tax credit to First Time Buyers, the extension measure also opens up opportunities for others who are not buying for the first time. The program now gives those who already own a residence some additional reasons to move into a new home. This incentive comes in the form of a tax credit of up to $6,500 for qualified purchasers. The Move-Up / Repeat Home Buyer Credit is a exciting news for those looking to step up into a larger home, or down-size into a home that better fits their lifestyle. Now in addition to low interest rates and great prices you have another reason to buy now, the $6500 tax credit! As with any matter concerning your income taxes you should consult your accountant to see how you can qualify. |
