woodstock real estate: Expanded Homeownership Tax Credit - 11/09/09 06:05 PM
As most of you have heard by now, last Friday President Obama signed The Worker, Homeownership and Business Asssistance Act of 2009 (Tax Act). We recently blogged in support of legislation to extend and expand the homebuyer's tax credit. Thankfully, both branches of Congress and The President recognized the importance of assisting the housing industry and passed the Tax Act.
Like most legislation, the devil is in the details- and we're not sure all the details have yet surfaced. However, the National Association of REALTORS® has posted a comparison chart that shows the major differences compared to the 2008 First … (2 comments)

woodstock real estate: Homebuyer Down Payment Assistance Options available in GA - 11/02/09 10:05 AM
Many prospective homebuyers looking to purchase a home in metro Atlanta believe that there are no longer any down payment asssistance programs available to them. Or, they've been told that the guidelines are so restrictive as to make it impossible to qualify for the available funds.
Both asssumptions are wrong. Thru the GA Department of Consumer Affairs, $14,000 is available to any homebuyer looking to purchase a bank foreclosure in GA. The program is called GA Dream and while the guidelines may seem difficult to navigate, Georgia homebuyers have taken advantage of millions of dollars available thru this program since it's … (0 comments)

woodstock real estate: FHA Loans a good option for many homebuyers - 10/29/09 02:27 PM
For several years, it looked like FHA loans had gone the way of the dinosaur. Instead, zero down payment programs became the extinct species and FHA loans are again a great option for many homebuyers. In fact, according to a recent article by RIS Media, almost half of the buyers for new construction in the Southeast this year purchased with an FHA loan.
However, many buyers we see are unfamiliar with FHA loans. So, what is an FHA loan and how can it help you? FHA loans are insured by the Federal Housing Authority, a goverment agency. As a result, your … (2 comments)

Fortunately, bills to extend the homebuyers' credit are moving thru both the House and Senate. GA Senator Johnny Isakson (R) has co-sponsored a Senate … (0 comments)
