The clock is ticking on the first time buyer incentive

The clock is counting down and there is now less than three months left to take advantage of the $8,000 first time home buyer tax credit. Just as a reminder, you have to close on your home by November 30th to qualify, barring any further action or extension from Congress. On that same note I would highly encourage any and all readers to write your Federal Legislators and encourage them to extend this all-important tax credit that is helping to bring our economy back to profitability. More and more people have bought property in the past few months. Year to date there have been 1,584 homes sold in New Hanover County and out of that total, 808 have been homes sold at $200,000 or less, which is the most common price range for first time homebuyers that qualify to receive the $8000 tax credit. All told that is $117,724,628 of real estate sold in that price range, all of which is helping to bring about a positive change in our economy in the housing sector. So please, take an active interest in this very important part of our Countries future and help us get this extended.

Now for a look at the mortgage market where rates are still hovering at around or slightly over 5% for a 30 year fixed loan. Another option that can be good for many people is an Adjustable Rate Mortgage or ARM. Rates on ARMs are incredibly low right now. A person buying a home and wanting to obtain a 5 year ARM can expect a rate of 3.75% fixed for the first 5 years with a 1% origination fee. Yes…3.75%! That translates to a principal and interest payment of only $926.23 on a $200,000 loan!. That is really quite a deal and for many can be a great way of getting into that first home, and then of course turn around and get a nice $8,000 check from the government.

For outdoors people, the Holly Shelter, with almost 50,000 acres promises true wild life, plant life, and endless natural habitats. Also for the outdoors people, the coastal life promises relaxation and a high quality of life. Forbes recently listed Hampstead as No. 20 across the US as retaining the highest levels of home equity.
