Do you know someone who can afford this type of lifestyle? If you do now is the time to tell them to take a look. http://107lyndhurst.blogspot.com/ This Beachfront Haven is Located on a wonderful private lane in Brick's South Mantoloking area. The builders must sacrifice this beautiful Oceanfront home and want all reasonable offers known. Call Dawn Marie White for additional details or stop by the open house on Sunday and experience living on the Jersey Shore..
Originally, there was a lot of speculation that there would be no tax credit extension. That caused some uyers to stop looking (especially in regions where closings take longer).
If the housing bill is signed as proposed this is what we would be getting..
Income levels will be raised to $125,000 for a single and $225,000 for married couples.
These buyers did not qualify for the original tax credit and therefore will benefit more people.
This could be the answer for the second tier homes over 400,000 - 600,000 whose sales have remained stagnant.
The Move up buyer may also have 6,500$ good reasons to make the move as well.
Many of the sales over the last 6 months were foreclosed properties which did not create move-up buyers. Now, more non-distressed properties will sell.
The Future
1. Interest rates are at historic lows.
However, the Fed has announced it will pull back on the purchase of mortgage-backed-securities in March. Experts believe that will drive interest rates to over 6 percent.
2. Tax Credits if you buy now.
The tax credit will expire the first half of 2010. (the house must be in contract by April 30th.)
3. Selection is fabulous now.
Howeveer as more buyers take advantage of this tax credit opportunity the less homes there will be to choose from.
For additional information call me.

The New Jersey Real Estate market is on it's way to recovery. Counties like Passic, Bergen, Morris, Somerset, Union, Middlesex and Mercer are currently recovering quicker than Monmouth. These counties have inventory of 5 and 6 months indicating a reduced supply which will stabilize prices. Experts are still predicting that New Jerseys housing prices will not reach 2004-05 levels again until 2016

Today, Congressman Leonard Lance (NJ‐07) joined officials from the New Jersey Association of REALTORS® (NJAR®) in support of extending the popular home buyer tax credit through 2010 and expanding it to all New Jersey home buyers. The current tax credit is expected to expire Nov. 30, 2009.
NJAR President Diane Dilzell. Said "The extension and expansion of the home buyer tax credit is crucial to continue strengthening the housing market, our state and national economies.
"It is estimated that in New Jersey more than 45,700 first‐time buyers have taken advantage of the current tax credit which expires next month," Lance said. "Extending and expanding the tax credit could continue to boost home sales statewide while reducing inventory at all levels of New Jersey's housing market."
Lance introduced a bill earlier in the month that applies to all primary residence purchases, not second homes or investment properties. Additionally, under his bill homeowners who fail to remain in the home for at least three years must return the tax credit in full.
Given that fact that 15 jobs are created for every house built or sold, expanding and extending the home buyer tax credit is just the type of economic stimulus our government should be investing in.
Lance pointed out that his bill is fiscally responsible because it calls for the use of unspent federal stimulus funding to cover the costs of the legislation. E-mail your congressman,,,,,,
