The extension and expansion of the popular first-time home

buyers tax credit gives both new and move-up buyers a tax

incentive to buy a home until at least April 30, 2010, and

longer for military personnel.

1) The new tax credit extends the existing credit for first-time

home buyers, worth up to $8,000, and offers a new credit of

up to $6,500 for some existing homeowners.

2) The reduced credit for existing homeowners is available to

those who have been in their current residence for a

consecutive five-year period.

3) The new rule also raises the qualifying income limits to

$125,000 for single taxpayers and $225,000 for joint

taxpayers, from the current $75,000 and $150,000.

4) The maximum allowed home purchase price is $800,000.

5) A home buyer must have a sale agreement in hand by

April 30 and close escrow by June 30, 2010.

6) Military personnel, deployed overseas for a minimum of

90 days in 2008 or 2009, would have until April 30, 2011 to

claim the tax credit.

Today marks the opening of Havana Jim's cigar store at 190 E Stacy Road in Allen Texas (just north of Dallas). 

Owner Jim Gauch is a friend of our and has been working on his new store for several months.  Last evening we made the 26 mile drive from east Dallas to visit Jim as he was making last minute preparation for today's opening.  The place looks magnificent.  Very warm and cozy.  There are no other cigar shops in the general area and I think Jim will to quite well with this new venture. 

Gook luck Jim

Today residents of Bryan Place will gather for some food, Cowboys and a dog show. 

There will be grilled hamburgers and hotdogs while the game is going on.   At half time there will be a Pet Parade, with prizes awarded for the best 2 and 4 legged in costume.  Entry fee is only $5, and proceeds will be donated to the animal shelter. 

With such nice weather there should be a large turn out.

There still seems to be no traction out of the House to extend the November 30, 2009 deadline,

lots of talk, nothing official. With the Thanksgiving holiday on Thursday and Friday, November

26th and 27th; and November 30th being a Monday, I would suggest that your purchase

close by November 25, 2009 to insure receiving the $8,000 tax credit. Loans should be in process

by early November to guarantee a smooth closing and allow for all settlement providers, not just

the lender or title company.

^th We will be hosting an open house today from 2-4 p.m. 

With rainy weather and The Cowboys on TV not sure this is a good idea; however hope you can stop by.

"It's not a reunion but it's the closest you'll get" is how HBO is promoting this Sunday's episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm.  This will be the first appearance of the four members of the Seinfeld comedy show, as they all appear on Seinfeld's co creator Larry David comedy hit.

Jerry Seinfeld, Jason Alexander and Julia Louis-Dreyfus have made guest appearance on Curb Your Enthusiasm; however this week all four members will appear as themselves.

If you are a Seinfeld fan this should be worth watching.
