Tax Credit

If you are renting, you should really think twice about buying this year. The first time how buyers tax credit is a gift from the government. Basically, the IRS is giving you $8,000 to go out and buy a home. You don't have to pay it back and you can use it to pay for anything you want.

The best news is you can claim on 2008 or 2009 taxes. That means you can get the money back this year. Even if you have already filed your 2008 taxes, you can amend your return and send in a special form as soon as you complete your purchase.

Note that there are income caps for receiving the tax credit. If you make over $75,000 or if you and your significant other make over $150,000 then the credit starts to phase out.

Finally, rememeber that you have to buy before November 30th of this year to get the credit.

For more information on this tax credit contact Mark Munson at 704-602-4294 or mmunson@dickensmitchener.com

Builder Agressively Reduces Prices

Steve Kaleel of Steve Kaleel Builders has decided to take aggressive action on reducing the prices on 2 homes he has on the market. Steve heard an economist Bob Allsbrook speak today about how we are at the bottom of this economic turn down but warned that the turn could be slow. Steve made a dramatic overall reduction on 2 houses of approximately $500,000. His hope is to entice a buyer to make an offer on his properties on Wheelock or Granville in Charlotte, NC.

For more information please contact Vicky Mitchener at 704-602-4221 or vmitchener@dickensmitchener.com

We Won! The Crown of Excellence!

Come by our office and check out all of our awards that we just drug home from Scottsdale. We barely avoided baggage fees! My bag tipped out at 55 lbs and I was scrambling in the check in line to get it under 50 lbs. My carry on ended up being almost too heavy to pick up and the thought occured to me I am still getting on with the exact same weight just more of it will be in the passenger compartment. Does that make sense to you? Please let me know if I am missing something here. Anyway the most important award that we won was The Crown of Excellence (note the capitals), our network, Leading Real Estate Companies of the World's highest honor for referral production! We were on stage in the bright lights in a ballroom full of our peers in Scotsdale Arizona. Almost 400 members of the top real estate companies in the US and representives from 8 countries got to hear the latest trends on social networking, short sales and foreclosures, technology, marketing and loads of things to bring back to Charlotte to help our buyers and sellers in this rapidly changing market! We can not wait to tell you all about it! Please call, write, email, blog, or tweet us back.

Hugs and kisses
