After a close brush with a deadline that could have impacted tens of thousands of home buyers, the U.S. Congress last night passed an extension of the Home buyer Tax Credit closing deadline. The extension is included in the Home Buyer Assistance and Improvement Act (H.R. 5623) and will prevent as many as 180,000 home buyers from losing their eligibility for the tax credit through no fault of their own. These households had home purchase contracts pending as of April 30 and had until June 30 to close...(read more)

Did You Know??

Mark and Becci Team — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 20:32:00 GMT

You can buy a $290,000 home today with 3.5% down and you don’t even have to be a first time buyer. If you are a 1 st time buyer and you close before 6/30/09, you can amend your 2008 tax return and the government will give you $8,000. Imagine that…for a person that makes 48k per year, it would take them 3 months to net $8,000.

Why did interest rates plummet last week?

Mark and Becci Team — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 22:35:00 GMT

In case you didn’t hear, mortgage interest plummeted last week after the feds agreed to purchase 500 billion in mortgage backed securities from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. If you are not an industry wizard (and I am certainly not) let me try to break this down in layman's terms. There has always been a correlation between the bond market and the stock market. Money is always flowing into or out of the stock market. When investors pulled money out of the stock market it would flow into the...(read more)
