At last there is some light at the end of the tunnel for the mid-range homes for sale in Fullerton, as well as many other cities around the country.  Fullerton real estate has been plagued with the lack of buyers above the entry level (bargain basement) category.  But now the new tax credit for move up buyers may change all of that.  The new law encourages the move up by allowing a tax credit of up to $6500 for purchases of move up homes as long as the price does not exceed $800,000.  The income limits have also been raised to $125,000 for single and $225,000 for joint participants.  Also in order to qualify the buyer must have lived in their current house for 5 of the last 8 years.  If this incentive works, then the move up market can improve and it will also bring some more entry level homes into the market.  Sounds like a Win-Win to me.
