Is it still a hot market in Northern Virginia? One might argue that based on this deal it is.

We listed this quaint little 'cottage type' property (3 bedrooms, 3 bath, maybe 1900 sq ft) situated in one of Arlington's "finest" neighborhoods and during the first showing we had an offer in hand, a verbal offer and 3 phone calls. One of our offers was cash, no inspections or contingencies that also offered an escalation to over $50,000 beyond asking price of $764,900.00. We ratified an offer within hours of putting the sign up! There wasnt even a picture on the listing in MLS so all I can offer is this description which I wrote for the listing. "Great opportunity situated in the heart of sought after Country Club Hills. 3BR and 3BA with family room and Master BR on the main living area- catherdral ceilings over formal LR. Fully finished basement with the feel and charm of an old historic cabin. Huge fireplace can warm the coldest winter nights. 2nd floor BR and study- Motivated seller so make an offer TODAY!

 

Is it a good time to buy in Arlington, Virginia? I would suppose based on this story IT IS!

 

Last week, Congress overwhelmingly approved an extension and expansion of the home buyer tax credit, as urged by hundreds of thousands of Realtors® across the country. The President has signed the legislation.

Key points of the legislation include:

  • Extension of the $8,000 tax credit for first-time home buyers under contract by April 30, 2010 and settling by July 1, 2010;
  • Addition of a $6,500 tax credit for existing homeowners, if living in their principal residence for five consecutive years in the past eight years;
  • Increasing income limits for eligible home buyers to $125,000 for single buyers and $225,000 for couples; and,
  • Capping the purchase price of the home at $800,000.

With a unanimous vote yesterday evening the Senate passed another value add stimulus to buying a new home. Combined with lowered interest rates and amazing inventory a new law allows for better tax advantages.

                                         USA today photo

The old law allowed for a $7500 tax credit to first time home buyers the year the bought their first residence. The new law should help stimulate a new surge of buyers. ALL home buyers will now get a tax credit equivalent to  $10% (up to $15K) on new or existing residences. 

See USA todays article here:  http://www.usatoday.com/money/economy/housing/2009-02-04-taxbreak-homebuyers_N.htm for more details.

Lets get out and find you a new home ..Now is the time to buy!
