Why Today Is a Better Time to Buy Than Tomorrow

newwestrealty — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 17:12:43 +0000

The housing market has continued its rehabilitation of late, a great sign considering the housing crash is the single most important factor that started this recession, according to Casey B. Mulligan, Professor of Economics at the University of Chicago. Says Mulligan:

“Although housing prices should not be expected to return to their 2005 peak any time soon, housing sector data released last week suggest that housing prices can head somewhat higher.”

Couple this news with the fact that mortgage rates are holding at just above 5% but may not do so for long, and it’s obvious now is a fantastic time to buy your new home.

At Heritage Homes, you can save up to $100K on a brand new townhome. Both this offer and the homes will not last for long, so visit Save at Heritage Homes to get started today!

One Last Chance to Take Advantage of the Tax Credit

newwestrealty — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 15:04:02 +0000

On April 30, the $8k federal tax credit to first-time homebuyers comes to an end. But to clear up a misconception, it’s too late to receive the tax credit. The key point:

“A tax credit of up to $8,000 is available for first-time home buyers purchasing on or after Jan. 1, 2009, and on or before April 30, 2010. In cases where a binding sales contract is signed by April 30, 2010, a home purchase completed by June 30, 2010 will qualify.”

When the homebuying tax credit was extended last year, the National Association of Home Builders released a helpful video, detailing who qualifies for the tax credit and what types of homes qualify.

Now that you have all the info, the ball is in your court! It’s already a wonderful time to buy, and the tax credit is the icing on the cake. To see what your new home in the heart of Chicago could look like, visit Save at Heritage Homes today!
