First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit Extended

Jared Pomranky ~ Detroit Foreclosures: Real Estate - Other in Detroit, MI

As reported by Drew's Mortgage New's on November 6th, the first time home buyer tax credit has been extended through April 30, 2010. While there are some basic changes, everything is close to the same as it was before with one major exception. Current homeowners can take advantage of the credit as long as they have lived in their house for 5 years. Here are the two different buyer groups that can utilize this credit, as explained by Drew Sygit:

First-Time Homebuyers (FTHBs): First-time homebuyers (defined as not owning a home in the last 3 years) are eligible for up to 10% of the purchase price or a maximum of $8,000.
Single taxpayers and married couples filing a joint return may qualify for the full tax credit amount.

Current Owners: The new tax credit program now gives those who already own a residence incentive to move to a new home. If they've owned a primary residence for 5 consecutive years out of the last 8, their eligible for up to a $6,500 tax credit.
Single taxpayers and married couples filing a joint return may qualify for the full tax credit amount.

What Fun For a Friday

Barb & Sal Dragotta  Macomb County Michigan Homes for Sale: Real Estate Agent in Macomb, MI







As Sal is meeting with a client...not a client...maybe a client....in loan Mod. process>>>
I have the fun position of listing some silly, interesting, & cautious items for you.

A. we have, here in our place in Macomb County, MI, some D.C.G. over head:
DCG = directionally challenged Geese.
we live North of Detroit, in the Mitten of Michigan:
...our Home is situated SW [ front of house], making North to our right if we are facing the main Street.
...platoon, after platoon of Geese--flying "South" for the winter--people our skies heading N.--IF we are
facing our main Street [not the side street]
...periodically, similar platoons fly out of the N. [IF we are facing the..yadda] what do you want to bet
these are the SAME platoons who flew N. [if you are...] days ago.

B. we have, here in our place in Macomb County, MI. some 'living' Flat Dog Toys:
...you have seen those toys--furry, long, stuffing-less animals with heads, legs, & tails that you
actually purchase that way [ here, we just waited until the dogs tore the stuffing out & sewed up]
...these living flat dog toys are our friendly squirrels who 'hang' from our many Bird Feeders.
since squirrels cannot read, they do not know they are eating from BIRD feeders. Just a moment
ago I went out to replace a Woodpecker Block into it's designated feeder [ yes, the squirrels love
the Woodpecker Blocks, as do all the birds except for the Doves] and one small Black critter had
the nerve to chatter / yell at me for making him / her move away. As soon as it was placed into
the feeder, said critter came back, ate, & had zero problem with the fact that I was still out side.
No, we have not had Woodpeckers around here, ever. The trees left are thin, no telephone poles
in our neighborhoods, & all the larger ASH trees have been removed in the last 2 years due to the
boring beetle infestation. Nothing left to 'peck' I guess.

C. we here in our place in Macomb County, MI are interested in, and concerned about another Saturday
[Senate]-Health Care Vote- scheduled for later tomorrow. Perhaps, our congressional leaders should
consider a part-time Congress who only needs to meet in sessions on Saturdays or after 12:00 A.M.
thus cutting the perks , dollars in salary, & forcing them to lose their $500.00 per year policies.
What do you think...possible....sure, & we here in Michigan have this ..."great Bridge in the Northern
Part of the Mitten" that has been on the market for ages.
C.pt a..news throughout the day has indicated that this Vote is Not a 'for Real' Vote, no, it is a TEST Vote?
...do they get to study for it
...will it be an 'open book' test
...will it be graded "on the curve"
...and here I thought that we should be concerned with another Saturday Vote.
...what was I thinking?

D. we here in our place in Macomb County, MI, have been made aware of some shift in reporting at
major newspapers; small at times, but large in implication [?] as questions about the direction of the
nation & it's leaders are being raised AND reported upon. For this to happen in this area which is
admittedly liberal, is fascinating to say the least. Refreshing too, to read the questioning of
policies--seldom reported in the negative--in this Blue State.

E. we here in our place in Macomb County, MI, have another Wal-Mart in our area; it seems that the
store that many "love to hate" had their grand opening at the new store East of Partridge Creek
Mall. Partridge Creek spokes person stated that they welcome another shopping venue for the
residents of Macomb County AND they believe that each [ of them] offer ease of shopping to various
categories of customers.. Well, maybe, but what does that say for those of us who shop at BOTH
venues? we have many savvy shoppers here in our place in Macomb County, MI.




Let's hear it for Michigan Residents and all savvy shoppers everywhere. LOL
