THE BARRANS REPORT - HOT REAL ESTATE DEALS FOR PACIFIC NORTHWEST!

The Barrans Report – Hot Puget Sound Real Estate

For the week of November 8, 2009

Each week SouthSoundForeclosures.com & Help-U-Sell Barrans Realty are searching the multiple listing looking for “HOT” Real Estate deals in the South Sound area of Washington State.

The Worker, Homeownership, and Business Assistance Act of 2009 was signed this week and it greatly expands the First Time Homebuyer Tax Credit by making more first time homebuyers eligible for the credit and now includes homebuyers that are not first time homebuyers.

First Time Homebuyers

The current law is extended until April 30, 2010. Buyers have until that date to have a signed purchase agreement. There is an additional 60 day grace period to complete the financing. More first time homebuyers are eligible because the new law raises the annual income limits from $75,000 to $125,000 for singles and from $150,000 to $225,000 for married couples.

Current Home Owners

Over 60 percent of current home owners will be eligible for a tax credit of up to $6,500 if they purchase a home by April 30, 2010. These homebuyers must have lived in their home for five consecutive years over the previous eight years to qualify. Qualified homebuyers can get the credit if they purchase a home for $800,000 or less as their primary residence between November 7, 2009 and April 30, 2010. The income limits are the same as the First Time Homebuyer listed above.
