Homebuyer Tax Credit Extended & Expanded!

Saturday, November 7th, 2009 at 11:12am. 1750 Views, 0 Comments.

President Obama has signed legislation to extend the Homebuyer Tax Credit. Passage of the bill was widely anticipated to further spur economic recovery in the housing sector, as more buyers are now eligible for tax breaks under the new law.

In addition to offering the $8,000 first-time homebuyer tax credit, the new law also allows a $6,500 credit for repeat or move-up homebuyers who have lived in their primary residence for at least 5 years.

The tax credits are available to buyers who sign purchase agreements on a new or existing primary residence between December 1, 2009, and April 30, 2010. Buyers would have until June 30 to close on their new homes.

There is an $800,000 price limit on all homes eligible for the credit. The income limits for all buyers…

Is The Orange County Real Estate Market A Buyer's Market Or Seller's Market?

Friday, June 12th, 2009 at 2:26am. 647 Views, 0 Comments.

Typically the answer to this question is quite clear, but with the recent events surrounding Real Estate in Orange County the answer is ambiguous. There is a definite disconnect between the type of market Orange County is in depending on the price point. In the $500,000 and under price point, I would consider that we are in a seller’s market to strong seller’s market while in the $500,000 and over price point we are in a buyer’s market to strong buyer’s market.

 

Where does it stem from and what does this disconnect mean? Well, I believe the main reasons are the lack of liquidity and funding in the higher price points, the vast amount of distressed inventory (ie. bank foreclosures, reo properties, short sales) in the 500k and under price range, and the…
