Notice to "On The Fence" home buyers...one more point for your consideration:
HOME BUYER TAX CREDIT NOT JUST FOR FIRST TIME HOME BUYERS ANYMORE!
Back in November, the home buying tax credit was extended to all buyers meeting these criteria:
There are also income limitations depending on how you file your taxes. There are also exceptions to the first bullet for those in the military or diplomatic corps. Check with your CPA, lawyer, tax professional, or the IRS website to find out more.
Also, circumstances are looking likely for mortgage interest rate increases in the spring and summer if Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac follow through on their decision to no longer buy mortgage-backed securities. So get off the fence...now is the time!
Contact a REALTOR today in your market to get the process started. Of course if you're looking to buy or sell in the New Orleans area, look no further than Troy Jowers and RE/MAX Real Estate Partners...your Crescent City Connection in Real Estate!

Just in case you missed this link on my earlier blog, here is how the "Who Dat" nation celebrates it's victories. You can play the video and practice. You still have time. It's over 2 hours before the big game. Join the "Who Dat" nation all around the world in practicing for tonight's victory celebration. Gather aroung your monitor. The players practice endless hours to play the super bowl, so we need to practice a little as fans before the game. 
Even our Louisiana Senators and Representatives took on the NFL to keep the "Who Dat" phrase the people's chant. The NFL backed down. You the people have free access to use it and sing it without royalties as long as there are no other references to the New Orleans Saints or the NFL. So put it on your tee shirt, sing it at your function today, enjoy the excitement as the "Who Dat" nation marches to Miami to support the New Orleans Saints as they play ball!
