Home Buyers Credit Expanded to cover 70% of "All" Home Buyers through June '10

11-06-09
Tony Lewis

We've made it to the dawn of the new era of prosperity!

It if finally official! The home buyer's credit has not only been extended but now expanded to cover up to 70% of all home buyers. This is much better news then most people can comprehend! Americans have, for years, asked "why not spend our money to help us here at home?" The U.S. Government has!

The expansion of the home buyer's credit means that homes will sell, homes will be saved, home prices will rise and America is on the way back! This will lead to more employment as home buyers will be spending money to fix up their new homes. Home Depot & Lowes will be busy again and employ more workers. These workers will be able to save their homes and with home prices on the rise consumer confidence will rise. This will lead to spending on non-essentials like eating out and entertainment. More people will be needed and hiring will increase!

God Bless America & Americans! Oh yeah, the rest of the world will soon follow us out of this miserable recession! Looks like we made it!!!

Let me know if you would like to look at homes, sell a home or would like me to hand pick you a Realtor that knows your community and works to serve the best interest of the client they serve!

Valencia & the Santa Clarita Valley & USA First Time Buyer's Credit Video!

Here in Valencia, Stevenson Ranch and all areas of the Santa Clarita Valley in California we are approaching a crucial cross roads! This is also true in Los Angeles County, California and the entire United States of America. The last day a first time buyer has to get the $8,000. first time buyer's credit is November 30, 2009. The buyer must own the home on or before that date in order to qualify for this credit.

It is well known that our economy is driven by home sales and home ownership. The real estate bubble bursting lead us into this recession! Home prices are down as much as 50% and buyers are now buying homes at an incredible rate. The most important use of the government's money is to continue stimulating the sale of homes. When homes sell prices rise and people spend money. This is a natural stimulation that the government can assist along the way.

Most of our financial worth is related to the equity in our homes. Having homes sell and prices rise will give confidence to the American people. Confidence is the driving force to our economy.

Check out this video and support the "Extending and even Expanding" of the "First Time Buyer's Credit!"

Valencia & Santa Clarita, Ca. is a great place to live & invest in your future!

Looking for a safe haven & a way to recover your losses from the recent recession?

Anyone that has lost money in this recession through 401K or other investments, which is most of us, wants to find the safest way to get it back. Buying stock is one way and buying bonds is another. My suggestion is buying real estate. Home prices are down as much as 50% in much of the United States.

California is historically among the best places to invest in homes when home prices have dropped. Ultimately California, especially the Los Angeles area is where people will move when they have the opportunity. Home prices are extremely low in California at this time.

The community that I have lived and work in for the past 30 years is Valencia, California. This pre-planned community is a part of the Santa Clarita Valley which is made up of the City of Santa Clarita and it's suburbs. We are located just 32 miles north of downtown Los Angeles via the 5 Freeway.

The biggest draw to our community is that our schools are among the States top 10% and the City of Santa Clarita is among the Nations safest according to FBI Statistics. Visitors are astounded to find little or no trash on the streets and the lack of graffiti throughout the community.

Our neighbors live and work hand in hand to make this a better community daily. Parents are involved with the schools and local sport programs. Our annual event calendar is filled. We have a local Mall, TPC Golf Course, 3 Ice Skating Rinks, Valencia Country Club, a Private Tennis Club and the area was established around Six Flags Magic Mountain.

The Santa Clarita Valley areas are Valencia, Stevenson Ranch, Newhall, Saugus, Castaic and Canyon Country. The area is centered around the city of Santa Clarita.

The reasons to buy a home and invest in this community are obvious! The community is well located for those that work in and around Los Angeles. Schools and Safety is a major draw! Homes are in demand and renting out a property is nearly automatic. There is a demand for rental homes and home values in this community will be first to rise and last to drop.

Call or write me to tour homes & learn about relocation to the Santa Clarita Valley.

Recently sent to my clients:

Dear Buyers, Sellers & Investors,

Signs of a solid and stable real estate market recovery continue. Following are the signs:

  • Nationally home sales rose last month by 6.4%
  • This is the 7th straight month in which home sales have risen
  • The current streak is the longest since 2001
  • Pending home sales rose in the Western States by 16%
  • Home Prices rose by 1.6% last month nationally
  • Home Prices in the Los Angeles are rose by 1.8%
  • Mortgage Rates for a 30 year fixed loan dipped to 4.9%
  • Mortgage Rates are now approaching a 40 year low
  • There is currently a bill before congress which will force lender to attempt to modify a home owners loan rather than foreclose on them. This should have the effect of saving many home owners from losing their homes and will lead to a stronger real estate market recovery.
