Open House coming up on Saturday, January 30, 2010

Rainier View from Roof Top Deck of Legendary Homes

We were holding open house a week or so ago, and the sky was just right to take these photos of Mt. Rainier from the roof top deck. The mountain can be seen from at least three levels of the home. Hm, I’ll have to check out the lower level when we are there on Saturday.

Come visit!  They are stellar homes, and the views are fabulous!

Homebuyer Tax Credit

This is one of those things you should take advantage of if you were going to buy a house anyway sometime soon.

First time homebuyers:

• The $8000 tax credit is for first time homebuyers only. For the tax credit program, the IRS defines a first time home buyer as someone who has not owned a principal residence during the three-year period prior to the purchase.
• The tax credit does not have to be repaid.
• The tax credit is equal to 10 percent of the home’s purchase price up to a maximum of $8000.
• The tax credit applies only to homes priced at $800,000 or less.

Repeat Home Buyers:

• To be eligible to claim the tax credit, buyers must have owned and lived in their home for five consecutive years out of the last eight years.
• The tax credit does not have to be repaid.
• The tax credit is equal to 10 percent of the home’s purchase price up to a maximum of $6500.
• The tax credit applies only to homes priced $800,000 or less.
