According to Realty Times, pending sales are way up! It seems we may be seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. These new numbers should only improve as first time buyers may start to take advantage of the $7500 tax credit. I have been sending this information to every renter I can find, as I am sure most are not aware this is available to them. From the Realty Times:
On a national basis, the index jumped by 5.3 percent last month. But more importantly, it rose in every region of the country, suggesting that the turnaround underway is broad-based -- even if it's likely to proceed slowly and modestly in the months immediately ahead.
The index -- which measures signed sale contracts that haven't yet gone to closing -- is a leading indicator of home sales for the coming two to three months. You can bet on solid increases in sales in the South, where the index was up by 9.3 percent, and in the West, up by 4.6 percent. Pending sales in the Northeast states were up by 3.4 percent and in the Midwest by 1.3 percent.

First time home buyers! Now is the time to buy!
It means a lot if you are in the market to be a first time homebuyer -- up to a $7,500 tax credit if you purchase before July 1, 2009. And there's more good news. First time homebuyers is defined as, "a buyer who has not owned a principal residence during the three-year period prior to the purchase."
In order to receive the tax credit you must have purchased your home -- single-family detached, townhouses and condominiums, manufactured homes, and houseboats -- between April 9, 2008 and July 1, 2009. Purchase being the closing date.
You must also meet income requirements. But even if you are over the modified adjusted gross income level of $95,000 (single) or $170,000 (married), you may be able to receive partial tax credits.
And getting started with the tax credit program is simple. You claim the tax credit on your federal income tax return. That's it. It doesn't require any other confusing, fancy paperwork.
What's tricky about this Act -- its a tax credit, meaning that you must repay the government either over the next 15 years (no interest charged), or when you sell the home, if there were sufficient capital gains from the sale. It will be about $500 per year when you file your taxes.

Congratulations to the Simpsonville Stars who just won the Little League World Series!

Way to go girls!
