Well it passed!  I now have $6500 reasons to get off the fence and use the Homebuyer tax credit!  Personally, I think the market has already benefitted from the first time buyer $8000 tax credit,  (at least the lower priced homes) and now it's been extended and opened the door for other opportunities.  If you're still sitting on the fence then get moving!  Call your Real Estate agent!  Agents- get off the fence and call your clients! I know I'm tempted to buy a house!

I want my Tax Credit too!

It seems the lawmakers are discussing extending the tax credit into 2010 and offering a $6500 credit to "homeowners that have lived in their house 5 of the last 8 years."  I am still trying to figure out where that came from, but I will take it!

Bail me out too!  Unfortunately, somewhere down the line someone (me, you and our children probably) will have to make this mystery money up, but for now it seems like everyone may get a piece of fiscal pie. 

Has the tax credit really spurred the real estate market?  I think it has helped get some buyers off the fence and moved some inventory in the middle to lower price range, but it certainly hasn't solved the "problem."  Time and reality will have to kick in to ultimately fix the issues at hand.  Just what we need-a dose of responsible reality for everyone.

I do like the idea of reducing the credit if extended.  Save some face and don't make those buyers that thought they took advantage of it while it was available angry!  But wait!  What about the other buyers who have spurred the housing market in 2009 but didn't qualify for the first time home buyer tax credit?  Now they don't get the $6500 either?!

Attention Buyers- when you get ready to look at houses, call your real estate agent.  It doesn't matter if you are "just looking," "learning the market," "getting educated," or "not sure what we want to do," go ahead and call your agent!  And if you don't have a Buyer's agent- GET ONE!  You have nothing to lose except your representation!  Please don't call the listing agent-they work for the seller!

Save your agent some time and heartache and go ahead and call!  I promise, we don't mind "being bothered!"

If you need help finding a Buyer's agent you can go to www.rebac.net/MembershipDirectorySearch.aspx to find an Accredited Buyer's Representative who will gladly help you!

An old movie title (Spike Lee I think) and a catchy slogan from NIKE combined to make this post.  

How hard is it-in Real Estate or any other aspect of life, to "do the right thing?"  I truly believe we all have a built in moral compass or "radar", that tells us right from wrong.  Unfortunately, some people may be better at ignoring these feelings, but I firmly believe WE ALL KNOW.  Deep down we all know, so JUST DO IT!
