arlington condos: $8000 Home Buyer Tax Credit Basics - 05/03/09 10:13 AM
The American Recovery & Reinvestment Act of 2009 offers an $8000 maximum tax credit for first-time homebuyers buying homes as their primary residence between January 1 and December 1, 2009. A First-Time Home Buyer is anyone who has not owned a home within the last 3 years.

This rule also applies for parents to co-sign on a mortgage.

Property Sellers in Virginia were recently given a nice gift! Actually a reversion back to the way it was in 2007, reducing the Grantor's tax back to 1%. It was a shame to see how a transportation tax could affect real estate once again, because of the ineptitude of the politicians in Virginia. The Supreme Court of Virginia ruled last month that the legislation creating the Northern Virginia Regional Transportation Authority and giving it the power to collect taxes was unconstitutional.
