Weighing In on the Real Estate Tax Credit for First-Time Home Buyers

Real Estate Reports and Updates. By Lisa Hill, "THE SMART CHOICE!"

scales of justice Yesterday, Florida REALTORS® received an e-mail today about the "American Recovery and Reinvestment Act" which is the $8000 tax credit for qualifying first-time home buyers. The e-mail came from the Florida Association of REALTORS® (FAR), asking Florida REALTORS® to contact their state representative, and contained a link to a form letter to e-mail.

I just posted the actual e-mail as a topic for discussion on LinkedIn, in the "Real Estate Services" group. If you haven't joined the group, feel free to do so, and feel free to post your own topics for discussion in the group =)

But on this post, right here on Active Rain, I'd like to know what REALTORS® from EVERY STATE are hearing from the National Association of REALTORS®. Are you being asked to contact your state representatives?

After commenting here, if you'd like a more in-depth discussion, feel free to carry it over to the Real Estate Services group on LinkedIn. I've posted the exact e-mail, as I received it, in the group there.

Thanks for commenting!

Lisa, Maryland has not brought up this subject yet but it sure sounds like a great idea. Many first time homebuyers need the assistance up front. Rich

Lisa,

Missouri is working on a plan for an additional amount of money that iwll be repayable if you sell your home before being in it for five years. After that time you will not have to repay it.

Richard & Don- This is good to know. I didn't realize different states were actually adding to the plan, thus making it even more appealing. That's great!

MAY

I clicked on the link to read the form letter, and the message screen says that the issue has been deactivated.

Thanks Russel. I just removed the link from this post. You can read the message on LinkedIn.
