So how do you know when the housing market hits bottom? After it is back on the rise...which might be a little too late if you are looking for deals. Read below what Jeff has to say about the tax credits:
First Time Homebuyers - In my opinion, this is one of the best times to buy in the last 10 years. Here are a few reasons why.
Home values are done 10% to 15% in many areas
Many foreclosures to choose from, possibly getting a better deal
Mortgage interest rates are just about the lowest in 25 years - interest rates from 4.5% to 5.5%
$8,000 first time homebuyers tax credit - Up to $8,000 depending on your purchase price
The $8,000 tax credit was revised in the 2009stimulus bill. So how does the first time homebuyers tax credit work and how different is it from last years $7,500 tax credit? It's very simple and I won't got into full details, just the basics. But let's first define a first time home buyer - someone who had not owned a home 3 years previous to January 1st, 2009. In regards to the $7,500 tax credit, you couldn't own a home from July 2, 2005, through July 1, 2008. This revived tax credit is good for any first time homebuyer buying after December 31st, 2008 and up to November 31st, 2009.
So what do you need to know?
The maximum tax credit is $8,000 for either a single taxpayer or a married couple filing jointly. It is 10% of the purchase price. So in order to get the maximum credit, the purchase price must be $80,000 or more.
This tax credit for first time home buyers is not paid back like the first one of $7,500.
There are income restrictions which can range from $150,000 to $170,000 for a joint return or from $75,000 to $95,000 for a single return. There are other factors involved when determining the actual income restrictions.
This $8,000.00 tax credit can't be used if you are buying a home from a close relative, which is to include a spouse, a grandparent, child, or even a grandchild.
You can only use this tax credit for your primary home, not for a second home or an investment property.
Purchasers who utilize revenue bond financing can use this credit. With the $7,500 tax credit, this was not allowed.
If you sell your home within 3 years of the purchase date, the entire credit is recaptured.
There are a few ways to obtain this $8,000 tax credit forfirst time home buyers. You can certainly file for your monies after you buy your dream house. You can also file an amended return if you buy your home after April 15th. But there is one other way to obtain some of this tax credit before you buy your home. Here is how.
If you believe that you are buying a home prior to the deadline date of December 1st, 2009, you can actually reduce your income tax withholdings. You can reduce up to the amount of the credit allowed, which will allow you to accumulate cash. This is done by raising your take home income, in which the money accumulated can then be applied to the purchase of your new home.
I am not a tax accountant, so it is mandatory that you speak to your accountant. But you would need to adjust your withholdings amount on your W-4 through your employer or if self-employed, through your quarterly estimated tax payments. Here are the rules and guidelines for your income tax withholdings. IRS publication 919 in how to adjust your withholdings. Keep in mind, if you don't use this money, you will have to repay it back. Overall, the $8,000 tax credit should be thought about when buying a new home.
Disclosure : This information is based on what I have read in regards to the new stimulus bill of 2009 for the $8,000.00 tax credit. Please talk to your tax accountant when it comes to the specifics of this tax credit and in regards to gifts and what is allowed before being taxed.
If you've ever awoken to the sound of water lapping at the edges of your dock and listened to the sound of birds chirping on the water, then you will feel right at home in this gorgeous property! Intracoastal homes are hard to come by-there IS only a small percentage of homes built ON the water-and at this price, very few! Read below for more details.
Boaters' paradise awaits you and your boat! Come on down to join in on Florida Intracoastal living minutes from the best beaches in south Florida!
There are not many places left where you can live with your dock in your backyard! This is a rare find. Your dock sits right off of your pool overlooking the Intracoastal waterway with southeast exposure.
Pride of ownership with attention to detail compliments this home. The home was renovated and remodeled with new granite counter tops and bathrooms. This is a great winter home for snow birds who want to have their boat available to them. It also makes a great home for anyone who lives here year round who loves boating and living on the water.
The home was expanded out to get more space inside. Most of the homes in this community were built in the late 1950's so they are being redone or torn down and new homes rebuilt. This particular home was redone, brick pavers surround the exterior driveway with a wonderful over sized overhang to provide a lot of shade to your home's entrance. There are new stainless steal appliances in the kitchen along with a cook top stove and lots of new upgraded cabinets. There are nice wide glass doors overlooking the water from the kitchen and great room areas.
There is peace and tranquility surrounding you in this nook of a neighborhood tucked away off of the beaten path. I like the fact that this quaint waterfront community is only about 3 streets in all and every home is on the Intracoastal with a dock. There is no HOA, no gates, just neighbors looking out after one another on quiet roads that lead to the water.
When you drive out of the community you head north a couple of blocks and there is the bridge to the ocean right there. This is biking distance from your home. The beach here is a wonderful state park, Boynton Beach Oceanfront park. I will be writing a post about the beach park here and link to this post so you will be able to view more photos of this favorite beach spot.
Even better, this home is NOT a short sale. You can move in quickly. The owners can make it possible for you to move into your new home within 30 days.
All this for the low price of only $797,777.

South Florida Short Sales and REOS Offer Great Values For Investors in Palm Beach County Florida.
Prices are the lowest they have been in years and with interest rates climbing back up this might just be a good time for the seasoned investors to purchase Florida properties.
This is not a flip and turn market, but rather a buy and hold market right now. With the stock prices falling there are many investors moving money into the real estate market. There are areas of Florida where you can get a positive cash flow on rental property that you was unheard of few years ago.
The rental investor market really took a beating for several years in Palm Beach County because the negative cash flow simply did not make sense.
Donald Trump is advising investors to buy now in Florida and also for move up homebuyers and first time homebuyers to purchase their homes using the new tax credit that is now available.
If you want to invest in the Wellington Florida area you will be able to find properties from Condos and Townhouses to Single family homes. The prices can range from below $100,000 to into the Millions. It all depends on what your use will be.
The lowest prices in this part of Florida are in Port St Lucie in St Lucie County which is north of Jupiter. You can find 3 bedroom single family homes with about 1600 square feet under air for $130,000. These are 2003 prices! You will be able to get some great bargain prices there as most of the homes for sale in Port St Lucie are either foreclosures or short sales. The prices have gone as low as 30 cents on the dollar of the mortgage owed by the homeowner to their lender.

$3.1 Million Dollar Estate Golf Home at 5 Rabbits Run is now being offered for sale in Palm Beach Gardens Florida by Nestor Gasset and Katerina Gasset- International Properties and Investments Inc.
Escape to your own private and secluded mansion estate on the 4th green of the famous Squire Golf Course in the world famous PGA National Golf and Country Club in Palm Beach county in Sunny South Florida! This estate home sits on nearly an acre of land consisting of 2 lots that abut the 4th Green of the Squire Golf Course designed by Tom and George Fazio, one of the five exquisite Golf Courses at PGA.
When I say escape I am talking about the ultimate in privacy that surrounds you. As soon as I entered this home the oasis of peace and good energy engulfed me as I gazed out towards serene waterfalls throughout the property. Small nooks and hideaways abound outside each of the angles that were especially designed for privacy and seclusion. I imagined children's doll houses or camping excursions right outside the gym area, expanded party areas off the library and sitting leasurely out on each private lanai attached to each bedroom of the west wing. This is definately a home that you need to see as my words will not begin to describe the feelings and the features that are a part of this golf estate right in the world reknowned PGA golf course.
I strolled along the outside perimeters of the property both front and back soaking in the amazing wildlife birds and views that each offers. One of the problems with Golf course living is that you might have a gorgeous view in the back over a golf course but you can hear your neighbor take a shower with mostly zero lot line homes. But this home is different. It offers the ultimate in privacy. I could see nor hear any neighbors to the front, side or back of this grand golf estate for sale in Palm Beach County Florida. The way the home is designed I know this is what the architect had in mind. I went for a walk behind the lot lines at the back of the property; I could see only green foliage, golf course green and wildlife preserve type forests for miles. The owners have placed privacy landscaping all along the rear perimeters of the home but if you wanted to just have the views of the never ending golf course you could easily remove the landscaping and really open this property up. The owners have also installed an invisible fence around the outer rims of the property.
With over 7400 square feet under air; the living areas are amazing. When the owners opened these stunning wooden double doors welcoming us into their home the Fieldstone fireplace that goes from the floor to the ceiling in the gathering room made a statement not only of pride of ownership but also of detail and elegance. This is not the typical Florida style type of architecture or design. If you love the look and feel of North Carolina, Colorado or the Contempary flair of Wyoming estates this is your next home. Don't even bother viewing this home if you do not appreciate contemporary design at its' best. However, if contemporary style and design is what you love this home will fill your heart's desire.
Off to the left of the grand gathering area with 17 feet high volume ceilings is an atrium area, another one of those nooks I told you about earlier. Directly next to the atrium you enter into the most amazing library in the entire Palm Beach Gardens Florida area. This is a readers paradise. Being that I absolutely love to read and books are my treasures I felt as if I had entered into one of my dreams even down to the book ladder that glides along the entire wall of bookshelves that go up 17 feet high. You know, at the moment my eyes noticed the stunning ladder the scene came to mind from the first Mummy movie where Evelyn is on the ladder in the library and accidently knocks over all those books. Remember that? Sidebar- That scene was done in one take!
The master bedroom is tucked away in its' own oasis with views of waterfall and lush greenery. The closets are larger than some bedrooms in some homes I have seen. But what is really spectular about this master suite area is that it comes with a full size dry sauna and a full steam unit in the shower area complete with 8 shower heads placed strategically for a full body shower experience complete with surround sound speakers.
I was greeted by another well built Fieldstone fireplace as I entered the Master Suite.
On the other side of the master suite is a professional 30 x 20 gymnasium with top of the line equipment fitting everything you can ever imagine. It even has the overhang television that the pro gyms have. You never have to figure out a time to run out to the gym because it is all right here waiting for you. Most home gyms are small and tight fitting with a lack of light. This gym has floor to ceiling glass for maximum light yet so private no one can see you exersising away in your pro gym. There is also a private bedroom with its' own entrance on the other side of the gym complete with its' own private bathroom, the perfect room for live in household help or for a private office.
So if you are not interested in having this area remain a gym you could easily tranform this into a mother in law suite, guest quarters, teenager getaway or a home office suite. The transformation possibilities are endless. That is hurricane impact glass you see there.
Above is another photo of the library- there is even room for a full size conference table in this library.
On the other side of the home I walked into an amazingly open gourmet kitchen complete with gas, subzero, 4 ovens, a warmer, instant hot water, 2 dishwashers, 2 garbage disposals, 2 ice makers and reverse osmosis for drinking water. Overlooking the pool, patio, summer kitchen and more native Florida landscaping, I imagined what a serene location for your morning cup of coffee. The kitchen overlooks the family room with another Fieldstone fireplace for cozy family and social gatherings.
Off in the same direction you find the west wing. The west wing consists of 5 more bedrooms of which they all have the pleasure of featuring their own private lanais built in such a way to afford total privacy from each of the other bedrooms. The laundry room has 2 washers and 2 dryers in the west wing along with numerous storage closets.
For those of you who love workshops or restoring cars; this is the dream 4.5 car garage! The garage is air conditioned so you can work on your classics to your heart's content. The floors are spotless and I could see this being also used for an amazing children's toy room or hobby areas. There are stairs, real stairs, not that ugly pull down attic ladder thing most of us here in south Florida, that you walk up to get into the attic with tons of storage. How cool is that! You actually walk up real stairs covered in carpet, no splinters, not pullijng and pushing the attic stairs up and down! For a home in Florida this has just so much storage. You know that is the biggest complaint anyone who buys a house in Florida is, there is not enough storage and we don't have basements!
So if golf is your passion or the simple peace of feeling your privacy surround you then you will want to call Nestor Gasset or Katerina Gasset to schedule your private showing of your new escape and new found freedom.
Set right on a world famous PGA golf course with miles of spacious views and the sound of native birds, you can own your piece of PGA right here in Palm Beach Gardens PGA today.

BUYERS-you finally found the house you love, waited patiently through the whole short sale process, only to find out your mortgage broker has not been doing his job, and now you can't get a mortgage and you've lost your dream-home! I've seen it happen and believe me, it is heart-breaking.
I can't stress enough how important it is to be qualified BEFORE asking a realtor to start searching for a home for you and your family. Please read below for all Jeff's homebuyer tips!
Buying a new home or refinancing your mortgage - How many of you are excited about buying a new home, yet are worried at the same time that it won't fall apart at the end because of horror stories that you have heard in the past. I am not here to scare you, this doesn't happen often, that real estate transactions fall apart last minute. But it does happen more often than many think. Overall, it just comes done to the loan officer or realtor giving you the basic education that comes with real estate and mortgages.
For many of you that read my blogs on a weekly basis, I have like 3 to 4 major pet peeves when it comes to loan officers and what they should be explaining to you in the beginning. I have even mentioned some of these throughout this first time homebuyer series, because it's extremely important that you pay attention to these types of red flags. Here are the top 3 that you should concern yourself with.
RED FLAGS !!!
Good Faith Estimates - So many will agree with me on this one, that there are times that a borrower doesn't get a copy of their good faith estimate, no matter if they are purchasing or refinancing. There is a law that requires that you receive a Good Faith Estimate from the time of application up to the 3rd day after application. An important FYI - Check through your paper work when you have the application in front of you. In many cases, it's there, but the loan officer didn't make a copy for you. If this is the case, make a copy yourself. Please read:
Know how to read a good faith estimate properly and what to look for.
Another red flag. When you actually shop for an interest rate, many loan officers will just give you a rate, but not explain to you that it's probably based on a 30 day lock. It's doesn't matter if you are shopping for a mortgage or decided to go with that loan officer. Please read the section locking in mortgage interest rates.
Which leads me to a major pet peeve of mine. Too many people focus on interest rates and allow themselves to get sucked up into the hype. Your loan officer's focus should be on what kind of mortgage payment that you are comfortable with and not selling you rate right from the get go. Yes, many of us have different ways of selling. But you can't get the lower rate unless you have more money to buy it down. Something a true mortgage professional will share with you and not ignore. Please read : Payment vs Rate And when shopping for a mortgage, don't just shop APR (Annual Percentage Rate). Please read : APR vs Interest Rate
Red Flag : The bag & tagged concept : As you shopped for a realtor or a loan officer, this person was always getting back to you. Now you have signed a listing agreement, a buyers agreement, or the loan application and they do not get back to you right away or in many cases, it seems like forever. Hence that they got you into the door, bagged & tagged you as a solid client. Now you need to hunt them down per se, calling and e-mailing. Or that they use excuses such as, "I am just very busy right now". Time management is one of the hardest things for any person to become successful with. You need to be organized to a certain degree. Just keep in mind, do you think that your transaction will go smoothly at the very end, if this is like this in the beginning? The probability might not be good. Please read more about these types of red flags here .....
RED FLAGS !!!
Lastly, the bait & switch method. Beware, just because the loan officer put down a rate, promised you over the phone, or gave it to you on a good faith estimate, doesn't mean that it's guarantee. Even if they use the rate guarantee. If you want to shop for a rate properly, you need to do it all in the same day, because rates can change daily. Secondly, you want to get a good faith estimate from each loan officer.
Talking to not only a successful realtor and or loan officer will get your deal closed without major pain, but speaking with a professional, caring, & knowledgable realtor and loan officer will usually solidfy your deal also. Again, I don't have a problem with consumers shopping, it's the lack of information that is supplied to them, keeping them in the dark. Once you find out certain things that you should have been told, why do some of you still stay with that person? Yes, I believe in second chances, but buying a home and or refinancing is one of the largest transactions in your lifetime. And if something major has been left out of the process, and sometimes more than once, why give that second chance? Just words to think about.
For two more tips in regards to buying and refinancing, please read :
Asbestos and Your Health, Tips for Remodeling your Ann Arbor Home -- This post does talk about some specific places in Michigan, but in general, Missy Caulk gives us some great information on homes built prior to 1980 in regards to asbestos. This is a must read.
I am re-blogging this because, as a Buyers' Agent, I have many clients that have offers in on a Countrywide-owned mortgaged property. It is very frustrating for a buyer to have to wait months to get a response from this lender.
I am closing short sales in 2 months, from start to finish, while my buyers for CW properties still haven't heard a word-this is ridiculous! What don't they get about time is of the essence? Surely, with the amount of money CW has made on all the borrowers out there, they could cooperate better. Maybe we, as realtors, should start telling our buyers not to make offers on CW properties-let them get stuck with all the foreclosure if thats how they want to play!
Short Sales- Countrywide changes their short sale procedures for the third time in the last 16 months. It seems they just do not understand how to get through the short sales they have stacked up on their desks. Now- which road do they take? Which way do they turn?
As you may recall the last time I wrote about the changes; Countrywide had decided to ship most of their files off to India for processing. Well, then came the problems. The employees there are trained to be like robots. They go down a check list and if anything does not fit the mold they deny the loan modification, deed in lieu or the short sale. This created a lot of problems because rarely is a file sent in totally perfect no matter how hard one tries.
We make sure we use a check list for our short sales but there are always situations in which all the documents will not be in the package. For instance, we have a seller who does not work and is not required to file tax returns so they would be denied because the tax returns would be missing. Instead of picking up the phone and asking us about our explanation for the tax returns they just deny the file.
Countrywide then decided that was not the greatest of ideas and pulled the files back to the U.S. but now instead of expedientely going through the files they decided to break the short sale files up into 3 departments. Now they will examine every single file and call the real estate agent or homeowner regarding all missing documentation. The file will remain open.
They can not even handle the complete files and now they will address all files! Hmmmm, I wonder how much longer short sales are going to take now with Countrywide.
We have 2 listings that have been going on for over one year with Countrywide.
The other important thing to know about Countrywide is that they treat each offer as a new file. We had one offer in, the buyer walks because CW takes too long, then we get the next buyer and can substitute the buyer. Well, unlike all the other lenders we work with, CW does not let you sub a buyer. The file with the first buyer has to be actually closed down and then you have to get a new file started!
Back to the back of the line! So while we can get an approved short sale offer through in one week with many lenders if a buyer walks; NOT with Countrywide! You are looking at another 30 to 90 days! WOW!!! Some improvement!
If your homeowner has a deed in lieu request or a loan modification open; you can not also work on the short sale. Those files need to be closed first. We have one with a loan mod that was declined but until we have an offer on the short sale they will not close the loan mod file. I wonder if this has anything to do with padding the books in any way?
Oh, another thing- Country wide will no longer accept offers without the sellers's signatures on them. We use this in order for us to accept multiple offers in certain situations. When I asked why that is, the team leader told us that the offers not signed by the sellers are creating buyers who are walking away from the deals in the middle of the short sale!
EXCUSE ME!!!! That has nothing to do with it. The buyers are walking because they don't want to wait 6 months to 12 months to buy a house!!!!!! What part of this picture do they not understand??? The buyers are walking because of the clause in the offer that says 'the time period for acceptance is 45 days' or whatever days is put in that box! That means Countrywide that if you don't give the buyers an answer by that time they do not have to buy the house!!! HELLO!!!
If they pay our fee; Nestor and I will go into Countrywide and organize their short sale department and make it run like a well oiled machine! It is NOT rocket science! But you do need to know short sales and real estate!
Hmmmmm, and banks want to be in the business of real estate! I think some public relations classes are in order!

When we first moved here in 1998, we lived in Binks Forest, and it is one of the best residential areas in Wellington. Lots of mature landscaping, beautiful homes set on good-size land parcels, close by all the great Wellington schools! This particular neighborhood, Binks Preserve, has always been one of the most sought-after areas to live in.
Read below to see what our team has listed now for sale:
Are you looking for a home in Binks Forest Preserve, the Lennar built side that is NOT a short sale?
You will feel right at home at 474 Cypress Circle in Wellington Florida.
This part of Wellington has always been one of my favorites. I was here watching these homes being built by Lennar. I remember bringing buyers to the sales office and how excited buyers were with the Lennar; 'everything included' concept that was the Lennar tagline. The golf course was absolutely gorgeous and the landscaping was really well done. In fact, I almost bought my home in the Binks Forest Preserve when the new construction began.
When I walked up to the door of this home to take photos of this listing I was pleasantly greeted with a wide foyer and a home that is mint condition. This home has been owned by the same owners since it was built in 1998. You would never know that this home is ten years old. Everything has been attended to, you know the cliche'; you can eat off the floor, well, I am telling you the truth about that here.
The best part of this home is the open and flowing floor plan as you can see in the photos here and in the video below. The living room is in the center of the home with the master bedroom on the left of the living room and a den right next to the master.
To the right of the living room up towards the front of the house is a formal dining room which has enough room for large entertaining formal sit down meals. The kitchen is on the other side of the wall from the living room and is tucked in just enough so that your company does not see the kitchen in case you haven't cleaned the dishes before the door bell rang.
You can cook to your heart's content in a sparkling white kitchen and still have room to socialize and gather around. The breakfast area is comfy and cute. It was really tempting to sit down in the breakfast area and chill for a while. The kitchen overlooks the family room, the pool and patio. The other 3 bedrooms are on this side of the house with 2 other bathrooms one being the cabana bath with easy access to the pool area.
The house sits right on the golf course but has privacy hedges all around the back yard. As I was taking photos of the pool and the patio I noticed how much care the owner has taken in making sure that the flowers and bushes were trimmed and very appealing to the eye. The pool area is gated in and right outside of the gated area is a large section of lawn that would fit a big trampoline or an over sized play-set.
We have friends that live in the Binks Forest Preserve so we visit in this gated community quite often. For many years my Creative Memories consultant lived in the Binks Preserve and I would be over there every other Friday night to do her scrap-booking madness nights where we would start at like 7 p.m. and go until midnight.
Right across the home is a lake with a secluded seating area where you can hang out with your favorite book in South Florida sunshine.
