By
Real Estate Agent with NEXTHOME Real Estate Executives

Ho, Ho, Ho Merry Holidays!!!

 

I know we are all so busy these days with holiday preparations so I will try to be quick and to the point as the main purpose of this email is really to wish you all the very best for the Holidays. 

 

This has been a phenomenal year for the "James Madalone Realty Group" with the close of over 47 transactions this year. Let me reiterate how very grateful I am to have found REMAX and their inspirational and outrageous worldly presence.  It can only get better from here.  I cannot thank all my clients enough in words for their loyalty and friendship since I have made the switch to ReMax Premier.

 

Aside from offering you our advice & expertise in the real estate industry at any time (We're ALWAYS here for you) I would like to close with our sincerest Holiday Wishes and below are some of my favorite holiday recipes.  Also for those of you that haven't discovered our YouTube website- there are some very entertaining "reality based" videos of me and my team along with a very good & diversified song playlist.  It's a great way for you to get to know me, catch up with me if we haven't spoken in a while or just for a good laugh- you pick!  Here's the link -http://www.youtube.com/user/jamestm6

 

 

Still considering buying a home in the coming year? Well hip hooray!!!! The president extended the tax credit until April 30, 2010.  This means you must close on your property by June 30th to qualify.

  • Income limits have been increased to $125,000 for individuals and $225,000 for couples. These were formerly $75,000 and $150,000, respectively.

  • You don't have to be a first time home buyer!!!!  Current home owners who have lived in their home for five of the past eight years are eligible for a tax credit of $6,250.

  • Qualifying home prices can not exceed $800,000.

  • First time home buyers continue to be eligible for an $8,000 tax credit.

LOVE AND HOLIDAYS BEST!
