First Time Home Buyer Credit Extended & Expanded to Current Home Owners

Cathy Tishhouse Royal Oak Real Estate (RE/MAX Showcase Homes) — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 16:23:20 -0600

All week updates and blog posts have been appeariing about the pending legislation to extend and expand the Home Buyer Credit until April 30, 2010. While we knew it had passed the House and the Senate, the final peice was knowing the bill was signed by President Obama. One would think this is an easy thing to find out. With NAR sending announcements (along with many other sources), I still wanted verification before I posted the features and comparisons of the new bill (below). I tweeted a question to @BarackObama as the current tweets were all about the Health Care Bill being passed by the House. Today, I finally received several e-mails saying it was signed but still without an official date.

According to the White House website, the bill was signed November 6, 2009. Below are the details and comparisons to the First Time Home Buyer credit (taken from NAR) that was to expire November 30, 2009. The great thing about the new bill is that it now includes buyers who currently own a home and are looking to buy another. Why is the date the bill was signed so important? After reading the fequently asked questions, the bill doesn't begin where the old one left off and start December 1, 2009 - it begins the day the bill was signed. If a current home owner is closing on November 7, they are eligible for the $6,500 credit (if they meet the criteria). Also, with the increased income limits, anyone who did not qualify will immediately be eligible if income is now within $125,000 (single) and $225,000 (joint). To view the 'Frequently Asked Questions on the NAR site, there is a PDF of the chart below and the FAQ under the "NAR Tax Credit Resources" on the purple tab, lower right.

One additional provision I found on the White House news release for the extended Home Buyer Credit is: "The new law extends a similar credit until May, 2011 for members of the uniformed services whose duty takes them overseas."

Cathy Tishhouse Royal Oak Real Estate (RE/MAX Showcase Homes) — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 16:53:08 -0500

What a great price for a home in Royal Oak Michigan within walking distance to downtown. Remodeled in 2009 with refinished hardwood floors and a tear off roof. This home backs up to a lovely neighborhood park with access from a park area just one home away. Natural fireplace, fenced yard, newer windows on second floor and a dining room just off the large kitchen are just a few of the additional features of this home. Great price for first time buyers and ready to move in.

Booth Park in Birmingham Michigan - Great Area to Live & Walk to Downtown

Cathy Tishhouse Royal Oak Real Estate (RE/MAX Showcase Homes) — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 15:49:58 -0500

Birmingham Michigan is a great place to live and a prime location is the neighborhood surrounding Booth Park. It is a four-acre park located as a gateway to the center of town coming from the north. The entrance to Booth Park is on Harmon Street near the corner of Old Woodward and is a destination point for parents and kids with the community-built “Castle” play station, labyrinth/tunnel and an Astroturf hill where you can see children (and adults) slide down on pieces of cardboard. Along with a climbing wall, rock garden and a pedestrian trail connecting to the Rouge River Trail, there is a large open green space leading into the residential area where many homes overlook the park area.

The Cranbrook Foundation donated the land to the City of Birmingham in 1947. The Upper Rouge River Branch runs through the park which serves as an assess point to the river entering the park from the East. Stabilization of the Rouge River stream banks was one of the priorities of the City of Birmingham when developing the Booth Park project while creating a park visually aesthetic and public awareness of the value of the Rouge River system. Over 800 volunteers built the play station area in 2006 and it was the winner of the National Project of the Year award from the American Public Works Association.

While Booth Park is the focal point of the northwest area of Birmingham Michigan the name has also come to represent the popular and sought after residential area known as Mill Pond (Holy Name). The official area of Mill Pond is bordered by Old Woodward, Maple, Oak Street to the north and Quarton Lake. There are three subdivisions closest to the park and downtown Birmingham that consist of Randall Add, Whitehead & Baldwin Shattuck. This area is comprised of about 123 homes and currently (August/September), there are 9 homes for sale and 6 that have sold in the last six months. On the lower end, homes can be found for about $400K and up to $1.8 million. However, the overall average is about $500K - $600K.

The Booth Park/Mill Pond area of Birmingham is within walking distance to downtown. With numerous restaurants, two movie theaters, shops (including a Kroger’s), a cup cake station and so much more, Birmingham offers most everything. In the summer, there is a Farmer’s market almost diagonal to Booth Park and movie night in Booth Park.

15th Annual Woodward Dream Cruise from Birmingham Michigan

Cathy Tishhouse Royal Oak Real Estate (RE/MAX Showcase Homes) — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 19:48:05 -0500

My office is located where Old Woodward and New Woodward meet in Birmingham Michigan and I have had a birds-eye view of the parade of vintage cars all week. I did a little preview video in anticipation of the 15^th Annual Woodward Dream Cruise and wasn’t about to miss the Big Event. With all the talk about two of the Big Three having gone through bankruptcy and all three pulling out of sponsorship, everyone was wondering about the turn out and success of an event that, in previous years has drawn up to 1.5 million people.

Parking was a snap upon arriving at my office and I began to wonder – a couple years ago, our parking lot was turned over to a parking service and I had to pretend work was calling to get a spot. However, upon turning the corner I was not disappointed. On the meridian between Old Woodward & New Woodward, the crowds were there, vintage cars were parked near downtown Birmingham and all was well with the Dream Cruise – even the scorching heat.

There was a restaurant set up with table cloths and flowers, a couple of bands, 94.7 broadcasting near by, a baseball game of sorts for the kids, face painting and, of course the cars. Driving to the Cruise, I was listening to the radio where they talked about how uncomplicated the engines were then – ‘you knew what you were looking at when you opened the hood’. Well, that may be the case for some but I was just wondering how they keep the engines so clean – an important question answered here in my interview with Chris Fusco, owner of a 1966 E-Type Jaguar Coupe.

From Birmingham Michigan - Woodward Dream Cruise 2009 from Cathy Tishhouse on Vimeo.

I admit that I am not very knowledgeable about cars and to some – “how do you keep an engine clean” may not be a good interview question. However, there was another woman who came and asked the very same question. Chris, who works as an automotive designer for Johnson Controls in Auburn Hills treated my question with respect. I could tell he has put a lot of work and pride into restoring his Jaguar. He also told me about his 1965 Mustang Fastback that he drives a bit more than the Jaguar and he is currently working on a 1967 Mustang Fastback.

To the many car enthusiasts who come – whether as an owner or novice bystander – it was a great day to see over a million people lined along Woodward enjoying and celebrating what Detroit has always been know for – cars.
