The Last of Home Buyer Tax Rebates?


I have formed a habit that I'm kind of proud of, I have been waking up in the mornings and reading the Wall Street Journal online. I'm learning all sorts of great things, the most recent article that has sparked my interest is one about a possible additional tax rebate.
The National Association of Home Builders and Realtors have been lobbying congress for additional tax relief to bounce the economy and the housing market back to were it should be. There idea is to give a tax rebate to anyone who buys a home no matter what. I could see this happening because it seems to me like a lot of these first time home buyers are on the fence afraid of buying a home in an unstable economy. They are worried they are going to purchase a home and it will deprecate. I also think the recent rise in interest rates has drove them away from purchasing. A new tax bill to encourage everyone to buying a home would be just what the doctor order. Hopefully we will see something like this in the near future.

Deal of the week.


Looks like the former owner is freshly evicted from this place... its kinda sad but one man's misfortune could be another man's gain. There is another unit listed just like this one for $112,000 its even on the same street. It wont last long so call if you would like a showing.


Have you missed the bus?


Rates just went up an enormous amount... my lender says that he has never seen them jump this high in one day. This really sucks for all of the people out there that are first time home buyers that have been dragging their feet. My suggestion is get a property in mind and if rates drop down to anywhere near 5% then they should jump on it. I have been seeing this coming for some time now. Hopefully rates will fall back down... I will keep you guys informed if the do so.
