First Time Home Buyer tax credits for McKinney - 04/10/10 10:08 AM
First Time Home Buyer tax credits for McKinney
 
Take advantage of the free money the government is giving away.  If you're a first time home buyer, Uncle Sam will give you up to $8,000 in a tax credit when you buy a new house.  That's certainly enough to cover your closing costs and a portion of your down payment.
 
If you have not owned a house in the last three years, you are considered a first time home buyer.  If the house you choose to purchase costs less than $80,000 you will only receive 10% of the purchase price.  … (0 comments)

Best Yard Sale in Stonebridge Ranch, McKinney TX
I confess, I love a good yard sale!   I like discovering a deal and hearing the sellers' stories. I even enjoy a little feeling of satisfaction knowing that I'm "recycling" in my own fun way!

Snow Days in Stonebridge Ranch, McKinney TX
 
We don't get snow days here very often, and when we do, it's cause for celebration!  This past February, the fluffy flakes fell all day long accumulating 12 inches and setting a record for snow fall not seen here for over 25 years!  The kids bundled up and made their way to the tallest hill in town by the neighborhood lake. 

 
It looked like all the neighbors had the same idea.  The moms and dads visited with each other, coffee in hand, as the kids laughed and raced up and down … (15 comments)
