New & Improved First-Time Homebuyer Credit - JEAN VILLA, Weichert Realtors

Jean Villa (Weichert Realtors) — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 22:08:04 -0600

New & Improved First-Time Homebuyer Credit

Updated Nov. 6, 2009, to reflect new legislation

New Legislation

New legislation, the Worker, Homeownership and Business Assistance Act of 2009, which was signed into law on Nov. 6, 2009 , extends and expands the first-time homebuyer credit allowed by previous Acts. The new law:

- Extends deadlines for purchasing and closing on a home.
- Authorizes the credit for long-time homeowners buying a replacement principal residence.
- Raises the income limitations for homeowners claiming the credit.

Under the new law, an eligible taxpayer must buy, or enter into a binding contract to buy, a principal residence on or before April 30, 2010 and close on the home by June 30, 2010. For qualifying purchases in 2010, taxpayers have the option of claiming the credit on either their 2009 or 2010 return.

For the first time, long-time homeowners who buy a replacement principal residence may also claim a homebuyer credit of up to $6,500 (up to $3,250 for a married individual filing separately). They must have lived in the same principal residence for any five-consecutive year period during the eight-year period that ended on the date the replacement home is purchased.

People with higher incomes can now qualify for the credit. The new law raises the income limits for homes purchased after Nov. 6, 2009 . The credit phases out for individual taxpayers with modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) between $125,000 and $145,000 or between $225,000 and $245,000 for joint filers. The existing MAGI phase-outs of $75,000 to $95,000 or $150,000 to $170,000 for joint filers still apply to purchases on or before Nov. 6, 2009 .

General Information

Homebuyers who purchased a home in 2008 or 2009 may be able to take advantage of the first-time homebuyer credit. The credit:

- Applies only to homes used as a taxpayer's principal residence.
- Reduces a taxpayer's tax bill or increases his or her refund, dollar for dollar.
- Is fully refundable, meaning the credit will be paid out to eligible taxpayers, even if they owe no tax or the credit is more than the tax owed.
The credit is claimed using Form 5405, which you file with your original or amended tax return.

For 2008 Home Purchases

The Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 established a tax credit for first-time homebuyers that can be worth up to $7,500. For homes purchased in 2008, the credit is similar to a no-interest loan and must be repaid in 15 equal, annual installments beginning with the 2010 income tax year.

For 2009 Home Purchases

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 expanded the first-time homebuyer credit by increasing the credit amount to $8,000 for purchases made in 2009 before Dec. 1.

For home purchased in 2009, the credit does not have to be paid back unless the home ceases to be the taxpayer's main residence within a three-year period following the purchase.

First-time homebuyers who purchase a home in 2009 can claim the credit on either a 2008 tax return, due April 15, 2009 , or a 2009 tax return, due April 15, 2010 . The credit may not be claimed before the closing date. But, if the closing occurs after April 15, 2009 , a taxpayer can still claim it on a 2008 tax return by requesting an extension of time to file or by filing an amended return. News release 2009-27 has more information on these options.

First-Time Home Buyer Tax Credit Program: Ending December 1, 2009 - JEAN VILLA, Weichert Realtors - 908-319-9556

Jean Villa (Weichert Realtors) — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 22:00:01 -0500

First-Time Home Buyer Tax Credit Program: Ending December 1, 2009 - JEAN VILLA, Weichert Realtors - 908-319-9556

First-Time Home Buyer Tax Credit Program: Ending December 1, 2009

Home buyers in the Hunterdon & Warren County area are wanting to take advantage of the first-time buyer tax credit should be aware that the clock is ticking its way down to the deadline.

The program expires December 1, 2009.

Remember too that you have to allow for a 60 or so day time frame from contract to closing. That scenario would give you a little over 70 days from now to find that home.

The program allows for a tax refund of up to $8,000...a lot of money by any standard, and especially in the current environment.

There are qualifiers. They include:

·The buyer may not have owned a primary residence in the past 36 months

·Can't purchase the property from family member

·The household adjusted gross income must be below $95,000 for single tax filers and $170,000 for joint tax filers

Also to know, the tax credit itself is limited to $8,000 or 10% of the purchase price, whichever is less.

Something else to remember is the fact that this is a true tax credit - not a deduction. For example, a taxpayer owing $8,000 to the IRS and claiming the $8,000 First-Time Home Buyer Tax Credit would not owe the IRS a thing on April 15, 2010.

Yes...it is a good deal. If you want details on it you can take a look at the list of criteria on the IRS website.

And of course, if you are in the Stewartsville, Lopatcong, Bloomsbury, Asbury, Clinton or local area, or moving into the area, let me know if you have any questions. I am always here for you.

If you know anyone who may be interested in moving or if you are considering making a move, I'd be happy to help. Please feel free to call or email me.

Before You List Your House For Sale Research Google for a Local Agent

Jean Villa (Weichert Realtors) — Sun, 26 Jul 2009 22:09:57 -0500

If you have a house to sell, be sure to Google the Realtor's name.

This should be done before you hire them to sell your house.

The more pages they have on Google, the more times they appear on the 1st page of Google, the better chance you have of having your home seen by home buyers. Where they are physically located is not as important as their presence on the internet. Do they advertise throughout the internet?

Home Buyers are on the Internet. Make sure your Realtor is too!

Example of Words to Google are:

Realtor's Name (like Jean Villa)
City name and Real Estate (like Stewartsville Real Estate)
City name and Home Buyer (like Stewartsville Home Buyer)
City name and Home For Sale (like Stewartsville Home for Sale)

Good luck and hope you receive a good offer soon.

Click http://www.RealEstateRoute78.com where you can pick any community or city around Stewartsville and see homes for sale and pick the area you are interested in finding a home or townhouse for sale. If you have a real estate question that you would like an answer to, be sure to check out and read what other home buyers and home sellers have asked and feel free to ask your Real Estate question via email to JVilla@Weichert.com.

New Stimulus Package Signed Into Law - JEAN VILLA, Weichert Realtors - 908-319-9556

New Stimulus Package Signed Into Law - JEAN VILLA, Weichert Realtors - 908-319-9556

Written by Jean Villa, Agent in Stewartsville February 18, 2009 6:05 PM Home Buying in 08886 No comments 31 views
President Obama signed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act into law Tuesday afternoon. The $787 billion plan is designed to stimulate consumer spending and create jobs, in order to help families recover and prosper.

Realizing that an economic recovery is contingent upon improvements in the housing market, the package includes provisions that will help attract first-time buyers, reduce inventory, stabilize home values and improve liquidity in the overall mortgage market.

The bill specifically helps real estate in the following ways:

- Increases the first-time homebuyer tax credit to $8,000 and eliminates the repayment requirement.

- Reinstates the 2008 higher loan limits for FHA, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

Both provisions were championed by the National Association of Realtors (NAR), which estimates that the new version of the homebuyer tax credit could stimulate up to 300,000 additional home sales.

If you know anyone who may be interested in moving or if you are considering making a move, I'd be happy to help. Please feel free to call or email me.

SELLERS: WINNING REQUIRES HOMES STAGING

Jean Villa (Weichert Realtors) — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 19:09:24 -0500

Have any of you buyers ever chosen a staged home over another home just because you really appreciated how nice the home looked and you knew it would feel good to live there? How many of you sellers have been trained to stage homes I recommend staging homes for all sellers who want to sell their homes. The advertising gets buyers in the home if it's priced correctly. It is my firm belief that the staging actually sells the home since buyers buy homes approximately 90% on emotion. That makes sense because you have to love where you live.

I, Jean Villa with Weichert Realtors collaborate with a home stager in Stewartsville AKA Greenwich Twp, Asbury AKA Frankin Twp & Bethlehem Twp NJ. Vanessa Grant and I will prepare your home to sell quickly. We work together as I market your home. Please see my webpage at http://www.JeanVilla.com or Vanessa's at www.grantbydesign.com.

Marketing To The "Younger Set"

Jean Villa (Weichert Realtors) — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 14:40:25 -0500

I heard yesterday Good Morning America said that we are now at the bottom of the market. Homes priced right are selling and the market absorption in Warren & Hunterdon County is dropping. This is great news!

Jean Villa

Via Clint Miller - www.recr.com (Real Estate Client Referrals LLC):

Before we get into this, let's take a quick look at the current situation in the housing market. All indicators point to the fact that interest rates will be dropping further. This is going to lead to a rapid increase in refinancing for existing mortgages and, I believe, a significant increase in first-time home purchases as buyers that have been "riding the fence" finally feel that it is time to jump into the pool.

The kicker with the majority of these new buyers is that they are either younger GenXers or even GenYers.

What does this mean for you??

First, a little background for you. Did you know that NAR reports that the median age of an active agent of a Realtor is 52...Yet the median age of a first time home buyer is only 39? NAR also reports that in 2007, 39% of homes sold were first-time buyers. Out of that group, 89% of them were below age 45. 68% of them were under the age of 35!!

So, what does this mean for you (I ask again)?

It means that a good portion of the agents in this business have to get with the program if you want to be the one working with these new buyers! And, by "get with the program", I mean use your strengths to your advantage as well as re-inventing yourself to "keep up" with your clients!

Here is a short list of tips that will help you work more successfully with younger buyers that I came across in a recent issue of BrokerAgentPro:

Educate your clients! Don't be afraid to resist the temptation to just jump up and start showing property to your new customers right away. Slow down a bit and get to know your clients. Trust me, coming from a Gen Xer, they are tentative about the way the market and the news has portrayed things anyway. So, the last thing they will want is to feel like they are being pushed into buying right away. Take the time to educate your new clients on the basics of buying a home. Explain to them the importance of ownership versus renting and the advantages that ownership can bring to them in the long run. Work to eliminate this anxiety and develop a level of trust. This will also force you to learn their little quirks and ticks. (Example: They are far more casual. So, don't wear a 3 piece suit when Dockers and a polo shirt will work. In a world where they can get information instantly, it would be a good idea to pull the "fluff" out of your pitch and stick to facts and figures that directly relate to them.) These things will work to your advantage every time.

Get them Pre-Qualified! Now-a-days, this is almost a "No-Brainer". But, doing this saves a lot of time...both for you and for the clients. (There is really no point in showing a ton of homes to people that can not afford the homes you are showing.) Going through a pre-qualification process will show the new buyers what they can afford financially and exactly where they are sitting. This will help eliminate the anxiety of purchasing a home also because it will show them exactly what they can or can not afford. Again, flexing your educational clout, make sure you explain to them they will see more scrutiny than in times past simply due to the way the credit market has gone.

Get web savvy! This point has been beaten into just about everyone's head over the course of the last year or two...and I really don't want to re-hash all of the points that everyone has agreed are so important to marketing to this generation's buyers. But, it is important to remember that these buyers grew up with the internet. They use it constantly to do everything from banking, searching, reading the news, all the way down to ordering pizza and hot wings for the big game. Chances are they have already been online searching for property and probably checking up on you before they ever made a decision to speak with you. They like to talk on the phone, but not necessarily person to person. The majority of them prefer to use their phone for texting. They want what they want and they want it immediately because they live in a world that allows for that to happen. Become part of that world. I know a lot of agents out there that are resistant to this change. I've said it before...you can either adapt to the changes and overcome...or you will get run down by those that do!

Focus on the American Dream! NAR reports that younger buyers buy mainly because they WANT to own a home. (DUH!!) 74% of younger buyers state that this is the main reason for their purchase. So, appeal to that want...that need. Use that to your advantage when speaking with them to help encourage them to stop sitting on the fence.

Change is the only constant in the universe. And, those that are resistant to that change usually end up on the shelf...just like the books that have been replaced with laptops and blackberries. If you want to remain relevant in this industry and in this environment, you have to be willing to accept the changes required to allow you to move forward. Otherwise, you will become irrelevant...like my dictionary.

New Stimulus Package Signed Into Law - JEAN VILLA, Weichert Realtors - 908-319-9556

Jean Villa (Weichert Realtors) — Wed, 18 Feb 2009 19:08:12 -0600

President Obama signed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act into law Tuesday afternoon. The $787 billion plan is designed to stimulate consumer spending and create jobs, in order to help families recover and prosper.

Realizing that an economic recovery is contingent upon improvements in the housing market, the package includes provisions that will help attract first-time buyers, reduce inventory, stabilize home values and improve liquidity in the overall mortgage market.

The bill specifically helps real estate in the following ways:

- Increases the first-time homebuyer tax credit to $8,000 and eliminates the repayment requirement.

- Reinstates the 2008 higher loan limits for FHA, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

Both provisions were championed by the National Association of Realtors (NAR), which estimates that the new version of the homebuyer tax credit could stimulate up to 300,000 additional home sales.

Weichert - Phillipsburg is holding a Market Seminar Thursday, February 19th at 7 pm to discuss topics like:

1) What is the market doing?
2) Is it a good time to buy?
3) The benefits of selling your home with a short sale preventing foreclosure.
4) The economic stimulus signed into law.
5) Other real estate and financial topics.

Please attend at 604 Victory Ave (on Rte 22 by Walmart) in Phillipsburg, NJ 08865.

If you know anyone who may be interested in moving or if you are considering making a move, I'd be happy to help. Please feel free to call or email me.

Sincerely,

Jean Villa
