$1,800.00 State Tax Credit for GA Homebuyers

05-21-09
Scott Eaves

Last week, House Bill 261 was signed by Governor Sonny Perdue which allows up to $1,800.00 in state tax credits for homebuyers. The credit is either 1.2% of the sales price or $1,800.00 whichever is less and it's claimed on the homebuyer's state tax return over the next three years starting in 2009.

Here are the requirements to qualify for the tax credit:

  • Applies to your primary residence only - can be either a single family home or a condo
  • The property must have been for sale prior to May 11, 2009, and must still be for sale
  • The property must be in default on or before March 1, 2009
  • The property has already been foreclosed on and is held by the bank or mortgage company
  • Homes purchased between June 1 and November 30, 2009 that meet the criteria will be eligible for the tax credit.

    This is a great incentive for Georgia homebuyers especially with the $8,000.00 federal tax credit.

    40 Condos in Atlantic Station to be Auctioned Off

    40 condos in the Element development at Atlantic Station will be auctioned off on February 28, 2009, at the W Atlanta Downtown. Element supposedly SOLD OUT in 2004 before construction ever began. Then a fire hit the building in 2005, and when the development was ready for occupancy in 2006, over 1/2 of the contracts fell through. What a sign of the changing condo market in Atlanta.

    Currently, there are 14 units listed in FMLS ranging in price from $157,500 - $415,000. Minimum bidding will start at $95,000 one bedroom units, $139,000 for two bedroom units and $205,000 for three bedroom units. These units were previously priced at $214,900, $276,900 and $414,900.

    If you are interested in a condo at Element or Atlantic Station, please give me a call today!
