tax credits: TAX CREDIT FOR ENERGY CONSERVATION MOVES - 11/30/09 01:59 PM
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (Recovery Act), enacted earlier this year, expanded two home energy tax credits: the non-business energy property credit and the residential energy efficient property credit. That means you can perform energy-saving home improvements and reduce your 2009 tax hit. The credit equals 30 percent of what you spend on eligible energy-saving improvements, up to a maximum tax credit of $1,500 for the combined 2009 and 2010 tax years. The IRS says that by spending as little as $5,000 before the end of this year on eligible upgrades, taxpayers can save as much as $1,500 on their … (0 comments)

tax credits: GOOD HOUSING NEWS!! - 10/23/09 10:43 AM
I love news like this:
WASHINGTON - Home resales rose in September to the highest level in more than two years, beating expectations, as buyers scrambled to complete their purchases before a tax credit for first-time owners expires.

tax credits: ANOTHER FIRST TIME HOMEBUYERS INCENTIVE REPORT - 10/02/09 09:32 AM
"The housing market is getting a much-needed boost as first-time homebuyers rush to take advantage of an $8,000 federal tax credit that is set to expire Nov. 30, 2009.

In August, sales were down 1% over the comparable period last year, the smallest year-over-year decline in any month since late 2007. As Congress considers extending the credit, real-estate agents and home builders worry sales could slump again if it's allowed to expire.

tax credits: FIRST TIME HOMEBUYER TAX CREDIT EXTENSION? - 08/12/09 06:28 PM
We have been really pushing the benefits of the First Time Home Buyers $8000 tax credit program for several months now.  Well the end is rapidly approaching - the program is scheduled to close in November.  But what if the program gets extended for another 6-12 months? 
This program has given hope and help to many people who never thought they would be able to live the American Dream of home ownership.  Now that they are aware of the program and have started to take advantage of it in greater numbers it seems wrong to close the door.

I have talked to several first time buyers who have good credit and want to take advantage of the $8,000 stimulus credit but just don't have the money available for the closing costs.  This sounds like a fantastic way to boost our service as a real estate professional by informing them of this program.
