I have talked with several of my clients who were not aware the home buying tax credit had been extended.

The credit for first time home buyers is 10% of the purchase price of the home, up to $8,000.

A  benefit with the new tax program is to those who own a house and want to move. The credit for them is $6,500.

This is free money for buying a house.

Besides the tax credit, interest rates are truly incredibly low, close to 5%.

With this combination of incentives, a lot of people who currently own a house could sell it and buy something bigger and have a lower house payment for a newer, larger home. This should be something to really consider if there is a move planned anytime in the near future.

I am sure you can think of someone who is ready to take advantage of this. Please have them call me. I really do appreciate your referrals.
