$18,000 in Combined Homebuyer Tax Credit for a Limited Time

Californians have a brief window of opportunity to receive up to $18,000 in combined federal and state homebuyer tax credits.  To take advantage of both tax credits, a first-time homebuyer must enter into a purchase contract for a principal residence before May 1, 2010, and close escrow between May 1, 2010 and June 30, 2010, inclusive. 

Buyers who are not first-time homebuyers may use the same time frames to receive up to $16,500 in combined tax credits if they are long-time residents of their existing homes as permitted under federal law, and they purchase properties that have never been previously occupied as provided under California law.

Under the federal law slated to soon expire, a first-time homebuyer may receive up to $8,000 in tax credits, and a long-time resident may receive up to $6,500, for certain purchase contracts entered into by April 30, 2010 that close escrow by June 30, 2010.

Additionally, under a newly enacted California law, a homebuyer may receive up to $10,000 in tax credits as a first-time homebuyer or buyer of a property that has never been occupied.  The new California law applies to certain purchases that close escrow on or after May 1, 2010 (see Cal. Rev. & Tax Code section 17059.1(a)(4)).  California law generally allows buyers of never-occupied properties to reserve their credits before closing escrow, but buyers seeking to combine the federal and state tax credits will not be able to satisfy the timing requirements for such reservations (see Cal. Rev. & Tax Code section 17059.1(c)(1)(A)).  Other terms and restrictions apply to both tax credits. (Source by California Association of Realtors)

Market Buzz

Real estate is not only local, it's also global. To understand the future, let's start by looking at trends in other parts of our nation and world. Certainly we are in a time of flux and economic challenges. Yet owning property continues to prove to be a wise investment.

The news that interest rates will remain low from U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman, Ben Bernanke, has had a positive impact. The Wall Street Journal recently reported that "access to liquidity for property developers and the fact that the U.S. is keeping interest rates low are helping to improve sentiment." There has been a positive, subtle shift in the global markets. Major Asian real estate groups are showing gains of 2.7 to 5.5%.

In the United States, existing home sales, including single-family, townhomes, condos and co-ops, were at 5.05 million units in January. This represents a rise of 11.5% above the 4.53 million–unit level in January 2009. The total available inventory for housing nationwide fell to a 7.8-month supply, down 9.6% from last year.

On a local level, activity is picking up. With the stimulus of the tax credits and lower available inventory, values are beginning to settle. In some cases, we are even seeing multiple offers for well-priced listings. Today's affordable housing prices are tempting to buyers looking for a wise investment.

OUR TOWN
Green building is here to stay. But if you're looking to buy green, beware - there are a lot of conflicting claims and options out there. That's one of the reasons why the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) is emerging as the “recognized standard for measuring building sustainability,” according to the Natural Resources Defense Council. A LEED certification recognizes that a construction project or building uses environmentally friendly building practices. You can find out more by visiting www.nrdc.org.

FYI
New laws are being enacted regarding lead paint. Beginning April 22, the Environmental Protection Agency will require contractors working on homes built before 1979 to be certified in preventing lead contamination. This newest effort could end up costing the consumer money and the contractor time. The certification itself costs money and so will the materials needed to prevent spreading lead throughout the home.

According to one federal health official, a large percentage of US homes could be affected. Yet health officials say that, especially in homes with children, it’s well worth the investment.
