First-Time Homebuyer Credit Extended

First-Time Homebuyer Credit Extended

New legislation, the Worker, Homeownership and Business Assistance Act of 2009, which was signed into law on Nov. 6, 2009, extends and expands the first-time homebuyer credit allowed by previous Acts. The new law:

  • Extends deadlines for purchasing and closing on a home.
  • Authorizes the credit for long-time homeowners buying a replacement principal residence.
  • Raises the income limitations for homeowners claiming the credit.

Under the new law, an eligible taxpayer must buy, or enter into a binding contract to buy, a principal residence on or before April 30, 2010 and close on the home by June 30, 2010. For qualifying purchases in 2010, taxpayers have the option of claiming the credit on either their 2009 or 2010 return.

For the first time, long-time homeowners who buy a replacement principal residence may also claim a homebuyer credit of up to $6,500 (up to $3,250 for a married individual filing separately). They must have lived  in the same principal residence for any five-consecutive year period during the eight-year period that ended on the date the replacement home is purchased.

People with higher incomes can now qualify for the credit. The new law raises the income limits for homes purchased after Nov. 6, 2009. The credit phases out for individual taxpayers with modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) between $125,000 and $145,000 or between $225,000 and $245,000 for joint filers. The existing MAGI phase-outs of $75,000 to $95,000 or $150,000 to $170,000 for joint filers still apply to purchases on or before Nov. 6, 2009.

General Information

Homebuyers who purchased a home in 2008 or 2009 may be able to take advantage of the first-time homebuyer credit. The credit:

  • Applies only to homes used as a taxpayer’s principal residence.
  • Reduces a taxpayer’s tax bill or increases his or her refund, dollar for dollar.
  • Is fully refundable, meaning the credit will be paid out to eligible taxpayers, even if they owe no tax or the credit is more than the tax owed.

The credit is claimed using Form 5405, which you file with your original or amended tax return.

Better To Buy While Interest Rates Are Low Or Wait For Prices To Drop?

No Comments. Leave one?

Is it Better To Buy While Interest Rates Are Low Or Wait For Prices To Drop?

Excellent question! Let’s call the psychic hot line. I wish I knew. I think the biggest factor is the interest rates. Our local economist uses 7-year rates to make his predictions. Here is the 10-year Treasury Note: http://www.forecasts.org/10yrT.htm 5-year: http://www.forecasts.org/5yrT.htm

IF (as in capitalized if) oil prices come down to a reasonable level, AND food prices stabilize, AND we don’t have any major economic catastrophes, AND depending on the price of rice in China, interest rates may stop rising, and possibly decrease. Every time oil prices jump, Mr. Bernanke at the Fed is under pressure to raise interest rates, because everyone has to spend money to pay for gas to get to work. Everyone is spending instead of saving. Banks have to pay more for deposits too. I think we are in an oil bubble now, but that’s a sticky topic (sorry).

My point it that a 1% increase in rates will affect your buying power by between 5 and 10%. So, that $400,000 condo at 6% now with 20% down (~ $2100 per month), now costs 10% more 6 months from now with an interest rate of 7% (~ $2300/month) . Find a mortgage calculator and check for yourself.

On the other hand, more bad news in the housing market will cause more inventory backlog and prices will have to decrease, since less of us will qualify to buy! It’s a big mess.

I always tell people the same thing when they ask me when they should buy: “When you can afford it.”

Yes, you can wait and the rates may increase or you can buy now and the price of the home could decrease. Will home prices drop by 10% or will the rate go up by 1%? Call your agent as soon as you know, because I don’t know. The interest rate is the big IF. Learn as much as you can about your local market. Talk to your friendly neighborhood Realtor. Get qualified by a loan officer. Be ready to move and when you feel comfortable, get your best deal.

Top 10 Cities for High Paying Jobs

No Comments. Leave one?

Best And Worst Cities For High-Paying Jobs

Forbes.com recently did a story on the Best And Worst Cities For High-Paying Jobs .

Media coverage of America’s best jobs usually focuses on blue-collar sectors, like manufacturing, or elite ones, such as finance or technology. But if you’re seeking high-wage employment, your best bet lies in the massive “business and professional services” sector.

This unsung division of the economy is basically a mirror of any and all productive industry. It includes everything from human resources and administration to technical and scientific positions, as well as accounting, legal and architectural posts.

Overall there are roughly 17 million professional and business services jobs, 4 million more than manufacturing. This makes it twice as big as the finance sector and five times the size of the much-ballyhooed tech sector. While its average salary–roughly $55,000 a year–is somewhat lower than in those other elite sectors, its wages are still higher than those in all the other large sectors, like health. The sector’s $1 trillion in total pay per year accounts for nearly 20% of all wages paid in the nation; finance and tech together only account for $812 billion.

No. 10: Rochester, N.Y.
Known as a center for imaging due to the presence of major employers Xerox and Kodak, professional and business services jobs here have increased by nearly 5% in the last year. Also home to significant food, chemical and plastics production, the region has become a major health care and education center, with the University of Rochester leading the way as the region’s biggest employer.

No. 9: Peoria, Ill.
With a professional and business services sector that has grown 35% since 2008, the local economy is driven by agriculture and manufacturing. Peoria is home to construction giant Caterpillar, which employs roughly 18,000 people. With a solid high school attainment rate, there is a large population of educated, qualified individuals to fuel the workforce at a price point considerably lower than nearby Chicago’s–and that allows companies here to hire more workers.

No. 8: Chattanooga, Tenn.-Ga.
A once-shrinking city, Chattanooga has rebounded and is now actually growing despite the recession. It represents the economic potential of a new industrial zone in the South that could benefit from the expansion of foreign-based producers as they choose to build factories there. For example, Volkswagen is opening up a new production plant in the city. Insurance company Blue Cross Blue Shield also maintains a large office in Chattanooga.

No. 7: Wichita, Kan.
Though it is known as the “air capital of the world,” Wichita is home to a variety of companies. Aircraft manufacturers such as Boeing, Cessna, Bombardier Learjet and Raytheon all have major offices here. Agriculture stalwart Cargill has a sizable base in Wichita, and billionaire Charles Koch’s privately held conglomerate, Koch Industries, is headquartered here.

No. 6: Bethesda-Frederick-Rockville, Md.
This region’s professional and business services sector has grown nearly 22% since 2007. Bethesda is home to defense behemoth Lockheed Martin as well as Catalyst Health, a major health care provider. (The National Institutes of Health headquarters are also in Bethesda.) The local economy of this Washington, D.C., suburb is diverse, with no single dominant industry. Because of its proximity to the nation’s capital, it also benefits directly from the rapid expansion of federal government under Barack Obama.

No. 5: Virginia Beach-Norfolk-Newport News, Va.-N.C.
The economic makeup of the Virginia Beach-Norfolk-Newport News region is diverse, but with four military bases in the region, the U.S. Army and Navy wield a lot of influence. Major firms based in the area include online discount retailer Dollar Tree and transportation company Norfolk Southern. This combination of private- and public-sector employment drives growth–and jobs–in the business services sector.

No. 4: Houston-Sugar Land-Baytown, Texas
Professional and business services make up the largest component of Houston’s economy, making up roughly 15% of its jobs. The economy here remains heavily energy-driven, with jobs to be found at the myriad energy companies operating in the area. Some major energy companies that call Houston home are ConocoPhillips, Noble Energy and National Oilwell Varco.

No. 3: Austin-Round Rock, Texas
The local economy is governed by technology. Major industries include wireless technologies, semiconductors and software; Dell calls Austin its home. The number of major corporations in this region provides many job opportunities in the professional and business services sector.

No. 2: Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, D.C.-Va.-Md.-W.V.
Jobs in professional and business services make up 23% of this region’s economy. The local and federal governments, including the White House and Pentagon, create the need for high-end employment, including but not limited to legal and accounting positions. As federal power expands, so do opportunities for well-paying jobs in the area.

No. 1: Northern Virginia, Va.
This part of Northern Virginia is a commuting suburb–and the middle-class hub–of Washington, D.C. The educated workforce here is in close proximity to one employer that is still hiring: the federal government. This in turn has created a whole set of opportunities for “beltway bandits,” who serve the government as consultants, lobbyists and engineering specialists. As a result, professional and business services positions here make up a larger percentage of the local economy than any other in the country–providing a 27.2% share of the region’s jobs.
