I guess you are all hearing the great news!

As part of its plan to stimulate the U.S. housing market and address the economic challenges facing our nation, Congress has passed new legislation that:
Extends the First-Time Home Buyer Tax Credit of up to $8,000 to first-time home buyers until April 30, 2010.
Expands the credit to grant up to $6,500 credit to current home owners purchasing a new or existing home between November 7, 2009 and April 30, 2010.

My clients are so thrilled to have this extra money to use for closing costs and negotiating
terms on purchasing or selling a home or for so many other purposes.

Jack and I are helping our clients find short sales and foreclosures. We often are able to
notify our clients about an upcoming foreclosure before it hits the market!

It is such a great time to buy!

And it is a good time to move up to that larger home you are needing -often if our sellers are selling below where they would like to have sold their home they are more than making up any losses when they purchase another home.

Having been a financial counselor for Suntrust Bank I can tell you that renting is the worst
way to manage your money! And 83% of consumers believe buying a home is a good financial
decision. (according to PULSE) It should be 100%!

We help our clients work with reputable lenders and ones that are very competitive with the
programs they offer. We like to see our clients benefit from services such as " a free float down on the interest rate" after locking in on a rate if the interest rates should go lower. Not all lenders offer this! In a market where the rates are fluctuating up and down this is a terrific benefit.

We recommend only the most qualified and experienced home inspectors - so our clients
can feel that they know everything about the home they are buying . And making sure the
process closes on time.

Our years of experience and many recources benefits our clients whether they are buying or selling.
Because we are full time Realtors Jack and I can give Sellers up-to-date information on what is happening in the marketplace and the price, financing, terms and condition of competing properties. These are key factors in getting your property sold at the best price, quickly and with minimum hassle.

Sometimes it is hard to pull away for a little vacation because we love what we do!

Well I definitely missed out on these great credits but I'm still looking into Williamsburg real estate, and it looks like it's still a good time to buy. Would you agree?
