FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

 

Latest United States Stimulus Package includes

$8,000 in FREE MONEY

for 1st Time Home Buyers

Explains Realtor Sherry M. McDonald

 

The House and Senate have reached a compromise on the economic stimulus legislation (H.R.1).  Here is an update on the Home Buyers Tax Credit.  Keep in mind that the effective dates for this program are January 1, 2009 through November 30, 2009.  Sherry can show you how to get that refund money NOW!   

 

Amount of Credit              Maximum credit amount is $8,000

 

Eligible Properties                   Any single family residence that will be used as a principal residence (including condos and townhouses)

 

How the Refund Works            Reduces or eliminates the borrower’s tax liability for the year of purchase.  For example, if you would have owed                                                                                        $9,000 in taxes you will now owe $1,000.  Conversely if you would have received a refund of $1,000, you will now                                                                                    receive a refund of $9,000.

 

1st Time Home Buyer Limits            A purchaser must not have owned a principal residence in the 3 years prior to the purchase.

 

Re-payment                             The tax credit DOES NOT have to be repaid unless the house is sold within three years.  In this case the entire                                                                                        amount will be recaptured on the sale of the home.

 

Call Sherry today for more details on this FREE MONEY tax credit.  There has never been a better time to buy!
