Who Will Qualify for the Home Buyer Tax Credit?

 
There are two groups of people who will qualify for the federal home buyer tax credit when they purchase a new home. You may fall into one of these groups...
 
The First Time Home Buyer:
 
This group consists of people who have either never bought a home, or who have not owned a home within three (3) years prior to their new home purchase.  The tax credit is equal to 10% of the purchase price, up to $8,000
 
Move Up Home Buyer:
 
If you have lived in your home for a minimum of five (5) years you qualify for a tax credit worth up to $6,500 when you purchase a new home. 
 
All qualifying tax payers will receive their check with their regular tax return.  The tax credit only has to be repaid if you sell the home within two (2) years of your purchase date. 
 
The income limit to qualify for both tax credits is $125,000 for a single taxpayer and $225,000 for married taxpayers filing a joint return.  However, if your modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) exceeds these limits you still may qualify for a reduced tax credit. 
For a full list of answers to questions regarding the home buyer tax credit, or to schedule a time to look at properties, call the Wayne Turner Group at (985) 674-1111.  
 
Don't forget... the Wayne Turner Group can provide a list of pre-foreclosure and foreclosure homes (sometimes before they are listed and advertised to the public) to our clients.

What's It Really Worth?

Mandeville:  Know it before you SELL IT

When it comes to knowing what's on the market, what's selling and the true sales numbers you need only one web link.  

http://www.callwayneturner.com/Market-Snapshot

This site gives you the ability to simply put in your homes data and within 30 minutes you get sales data on all the homes in your area that have sold.  The cool thing is you never have to call an agent. 

Give me a call if you know of someone needing to sell their home.

"Selling By Owner"

By Owner:  Sell it Yourself and Pay Nothing

When you place your house for sale with a Realtor, you have to pay a fee which gives a Realtor the exclusive right to sell the property and earn a fee regardless of who buys the home.  My way is different and here is how.  If you list your home with me you pay absolutely nothing up front.  If you sell your home to a neighbor, family member, friend or someone you have shown the home to you pay me nothing.  When you choose Wayne Turner Group to be your Realtor you reserve the right to sell it yourself and pay nothing.  You can cancel anytime and pay me nothing.  Call me if you know of anyone need to get their home sold fast.  I have hundreds of buyers waiting for something new to be placed on the market. 

 

 

Mandeville: Does Your Realtor offer a Guarantee?

If it Does not sell I'll Buy it!

How does that work?  Why doesn't other Realtors offer a Guarantee?  How can you Guarantee a sale in this market.  These are just a few questions I get asked from home owners needing to sell.  Every home is different but if it qualifies for the buy it I will arrange for the home to be purchased.  There is no cost or any obligation on the part of the seller.  If I do not sell the home I will buy it.  I believe others do not do a Trade/Buy out Guarantee sale for several reasons.  It is complex, time consuming and can be very expensive if you make a mistake.  I personally have done enough sales over my career that I feel very comfortable offering a Guarantee.  Call me if you know someone who needs help selling their home or would like a fast-cash closing.

 

 

 

Seller Tax Credits

How to get Tax Money?

If you have owned a home for at least 5 years you are eligible for the new tax credit.  If you close your home before you file you taxes for 2009 you will receive your credit on your 2009 tax filings.  The same goes for first time home buyers.  If you close on a home in February and file your taxes in March you will get your tax money in March 2010. 

If you have a credit score of 620 or higher you could be eligible for the $500 down Rural Housing Development loan.  Why rent?  You can buy a house cheaper than renting.  Call me today to get set up on my auto home search software.  Get every home listed for sale before Realtors.   

$6,500 Tax Credit

New $6,500 Tax Credit

The new property owner tax credit is for people who have lived in their home for the last 5 years.  The credit is for 10% of the purchse price of your new home.  Example:  Buy a $225,000 home and get a $2,250 credit.  The credit will be in the form of  a check from your tax return. 

First time buyer tax credits are for 10% on the purchse price.  $8,000 is the maximum a buyer can receive.  The maximum income amount is $125,000 for single people and $250,000 for married couples.
