Savings for Cupertino Seniors-the Tax Credit for Move-DOWN Cupertino Buyers

By Michelle C. Carr-Crowe

Lost in the hoopla about extending and expanding the "up to" $8,000 credit for new homebuyers is the credit for existing homeowners. In my opinion, this can be "Senior Salvation" - a tax credit for move-DOWN Cupertino sellers and buyers.

I called my broker, my local real estate board, the California Association of REALTORS®, and even the IRS to ask my question: does this credit apply for move-down buyers?

So far the answer is, "As long as they qualify and have a tax to apply the credit to, it looks like YES."

To summarize:

•1. A first time homebuyer is one that has not owned a home for at least three years.

•2. A repeat homebuyer must have owned their current home for at least five consecutive years out of the last eight years.

•3. The maximum purchase price for the new home is $800,000.

•4. If single, your earning maximum to qualify is $125,000; if married, it's up to $250,000.

•5. There's no gap between the prior deadline (November 30th) and the new credit period, which ends April 30th.

•6. While you must be in a contract to purchase your new home on or before April 30^th, you have until June 30th to close the transaction.

•7. To prove you qualify, you'll need to attach proof of purchase to your tax return (most likely a HUD-1 or final closing statement).

Caveat: please, please check with your tax professional and attorney before making any real estate commitments.

However, this may finally be a tax credit that helps seniors who've lived in their homes for more than five consecutive years of the past eight.

For example, a senior couple selling a $2 million dollar single family home in Cupertino Monta Vista they've owned for the past 8 years, then buying a new single-level 2 bedroom condo in San Jose for $650,000 not only get to keep their $500,000 tax-free capital gains benefit and transfer their tax basis, they can also now use up to $6,500 as a tax credit.

And as the capital gains $500,000 tax-free credit is set to EXPIRE as of December 31, 2010, now is a huge window of opportunity for seniors seeking to maximize their benefits.

For example, a senior couple selling a 1.5 million dollar single family home in Saratoga Lynbrook they've owned for the past 10 years, then buying a single-level 3 bedroom condo in San Jose for $650,000 not only get to keep their $500,000 tax-free capital gains benefit and transfer their tax basis, they can also now use up to $6,500 as a tax credit.

Finally! A Tax Credit for Santa Clara County Move-Up Buyers

Finally! A Tax Credit for Santa Clara County Move-Up Buyers

By Michelle C. Carr-Crowe

While most media stories have focused on the extension of the existing tax credit for first-time buyers, originally set to expire at the end of the month, the bigger story is the new tax credit for existing homeowners. This news is especially welcome in high-priced Santa Clara County.

In addition to continuing the $8,000 tax credit to first-time buyers, it provides a new $6,500 tax break to qualified homeowners looking to move up to middle-market homes that cost no more than $800,000.

With this revision, the government has made incentive benefits available to a much larger group of potential home buyers, including homeowners in condos, townhomes, and smaller single-family homes, who've put off transitioning upwards.

For example, a young family with a 2 bedroom condo in West San Jose worth $400,000 seeking to buy a single family home in Cupertino for $650,000 is essentially getting a tax credit worth 1 percent of the new home's purchase price. Also, they've made another property available for first-time homebuyers in Silicon Valley's desirable, (but rapidly diminishing) under $500,000 category.

The new measure allows both first-timers and existing homeowners to take advantage of thousands in the form of a tax credit. All properties must close by the end of April, a scant five months away, during what is traditionally the season of lowest inventory for the year.

The legislation also significantly raises the qualifying income levels to $125,000 for individual income tax filers and to $225,000 for joint filers.

Additionally, the bill extends unemployment benefits 14 more weeks nationwide and 20 more weeks in California and other hard-hit states.

Tax Credit and Unemployment Benefits Officially Extended & Expanded

11-07-09

Tax Credit and Unemployment Benefits Officially Extended & Expanded

By Michelle C. Carr-Crowe

The existing tax credit for first-time buyers, originally set to expire at the end of the month, has been extended, expanded and approved by the House, Senate and President Barack Obama.

The new measure benefits a larger group of potential home buyers. It allows both first-timers and existing homeowners to take advantage of thousands in the form of a tax credit. All properties must close by the end of April.

The measure would continue giving an $8,000 tax credit to first-time buyers. In addition, it provides a $6,500 tax break to qualified homeowners looking to move up to middle-market homes that cost no more than $800,000.

The legislation also significantly raises the qualifying income levels to $125,000 for individual income tax filers and to $225,000 for joint filers.

Finally, the bill would extend unemployment benefits 14 more weeks nationwide and 20 more weeks in California and other hard-hit states. That would give the long-term unemployed nearly two years' worth of benefits.

Testimonials

I had the same questions you are asking when we began interviewing agent to sell our house in West San Jose. We talked to more than 6 agents-many very big, well-known agents in the Valley-and finally choose Michelle in spite of many negative inputs from friends and other agent. We are delighted that we did.

It turns out some of those negative comments from our friends are what they heard from other people and not their own experience. Those from other agent are probably because of jealousy!!

Rule #1 from our own past bad experiences is whoever bad mouths about his or her competitors is the one who will do the same thing they said about their competitor.

Rule # 2: watch out for those who over promise and under deliver. Those who try to give deep discount but don't have solid marketing plan will usually not give good results.

More specific about Michelle:
She is very responsive throughout the selling process. 90% of the time when I called her office/hotline she answered the phone. She knows this our area extremely well, both potential seller and buyers.

Her involvement from preparation of the house to signing all paperswork is extreme thorough. She has lot's of help but she handle 95% of the important
stuff personally. She is fun to work with. After we have decided to hire her, we found out that she is also a Christian. To us, it is nice and important that she and us can pray together throughout the process.

I have no doubt about her marketing ability. She got us way over our asking price and sold our house on fourth day after it was put on market. There were
multiple offers. That was impressive for the size of our house. She has good strategy to get buyer excited about our house and bid up the price.

We also hired her as our agent to buy another house. On the buy side she is also very patient and not pushing us to bid up price and chase after a deal we
don't feel 100% comfortable about. I know some agent will tell a seller that the list price is too high and the house won't sell. To people buying they will say
the offer is too low. That is not Michelle's style. She took us to see many houses in person during last few weeks and never once show any sign of
impatience. She wrote and presented several offers for us cheerfully even some of the offer are way lower than asking price.

Overall, we are very satisfied with her service and with our decision. I highly recommend her to be selling or buying agent especially in west San Jose
area.

Albert & Candice Luh, San Jose

"When you're ready to Sell...Call Michelle!
She $old My Home in 6 Days...;and She Can Do it for You, Too!"

When my neighbor, Andrea Jackson, recently sold her home, she told me about her fabulous experience and great results with her agent, Michelle C. Carr-Crowe and the Get Re$ult$ Team. So when I decided to sell for the first time, I knew who to call, the Neighborhood Experts, Michelle and the Get Re$ult$ Team of Judy Carr & Assoc./Altas Realty.

Wow! I was amazed at Michelle and her team's energy and efficiency! I especially appreciated Michelle's sensitivity to my fears, problem-solving ability and marketing expertise. Her confidence in, and appreciation of, my home made a HUGE difference in both my experience...and my Re$ult$!

With her team, we were ready in 7 days, with staging services and a virtual tour! We received 9 Offers & Clo$ed for more than 6% over asking price! Her quick work also saved me from additional equity line or bridge loan costs for my purchase. She was so good to me. When I was worried, I would talk to her and feel much better.

I gladly recommend Michelle & the Get Re$ult$ Team to anyone thinking of selling.

"Michelle, you were just as professional, dynamic and pleasant to work with as your mother, Judy Carr. This was an extremely complex situation and sale; you and your team coordinated everything well with the contractors, as well as the five attorneys involved.
It was all done beautifully, on time and on budget-
and with the Re$ult$ you encouraged us to believe were possible. Thank you.

"We $old our Home in 5 Days3;and You Can, Too!

A while ago, we tried to sell our home with an agent who was a friend of a friend. After 2 months--and a price reduction--it still hadn't sold. This time, we interviewed several agents before choosing the Neighborhood Experts,
Michelle C. Carr-Crowe and the Get Re$ult$ Team of Judy Carr & Assoc./Altas.

Wow! What a difference! We especially appreciated Michelle's sensitivity to our fears as well as her marketing savvy and strategic expertise. Her confidence in, and appreciation of, our home made a HUGE difference in our Re$ult$!

With her team, we were ready in 14 days, with professional staging services and a virtual tour. After receiving 9 Offers, we Clo$ed in 2 weeks for more than 10% over asking price! We highly recommend Michelle and the Get Re$ult$ Team to anyone thinking of selling.

"Quick Action & Fast Re$ult$!"
"I and my family were moving to Singapore during a slow time in the market. Our home was nicely upgraded, but it was small (1131 SF) and we'd only owned it for a short time. The house next door was larger, yet had been on the market a few weeks and we knew it sold for less than asking price. Even worse, it closed for $825,000 the day before ours went on the market--$25,000 less than we hoped to receive. We were worried, but Michelle and the Get Re$ult$ Team assured us that with their marketing, staging and strategy, we WOULD receive the Re$ult$ we wanted--and they were RIGHT!

We received 17 offers for our home and it $old AS-IS with no contingencies, with a Quick close and FREE rentback--for
$881,000--$31,000 more than the numbers indicated were possible!
We couldn't have done it without you and the team.
We not only received fantastic Re$ult$, we even enjoyed the process!
We highly recommend you!"

"Michelle, you and your team were just fantastic! I called and left a voicemail message at midnight, by 8:30 the next morning Michelle was at my home for my free consultation and strategy session, by 10:30 Team Members were here preparing my home, and it was on the MLS by noon that day! Everything with the marketing, showings, open house, offers and negotiations went smoothly and as promised--and my home sold quickly--in 5 days for $32,000 over asking--and closed in 3 weeks!
I only wish I could give you the full 6% commission--you deserve it!"

"After interviewing several companies, including the discount brokers, we decided that Michelle and the Get Re$ult$ Team of Judy Carr. & Assoc., Inc. were worth the extra money in commission. We needed--and got--quick action and excellent Re$ult$! The process went as smoothly as promised. The Get Re$ult$ Team Members helped us with staging, details, paperwork, quick, professional inspections, and kept us updated on what was happening throughout the transaction from preparation to closing. Even though it was a slightly slow market, we $old our home with multiple offers--
for Above Asking Price--
and Closed in less than 3 weeks!
Thank you for making our lives easier! It was definitely worth it!
We highly recommend you and your team!

"When we finally decided to sell our home, there was really only one choice--the Lynbrook Experts--why call anyone else? Lots of people send us mail or knock on our door and ask us about selling--but over the years, those names and companies change. Michelle and the Get Re$ult$ Team of Judy Carr. & Assoc., Inc. have specialized in our neighborhood for years--and have the results to prove it. Who could forget those famous pink postcards? They never pushed us, just provided data so we could make our own decision about marketing strategy. Our home was in the highest price range for the neighborhood and to meet our goals, we priced the home a little bit aggressively, even though it was a slow time in the market. With the Get Re$ult$ Team's preparation and dynamic marketing, we quickly received two above-price offers even before our deadline! The entire process was smooth and efficient. We highly recommend anyone thinking of selling to call Michelle and the Get Re$ult$ Team of Judy Carr. & Assoc., Inc. They truly are the Lynbrook Experts--
and we have the Re$ult$ to prove it!
