The Government Wants You to Buy a House

This isn’t anything new, just worth repeating

In case you haven’t heard, the Federal Government wants you to buy a house, and they are giving you a great incentive to do just that. Free money from the government. Yes you heard right, free money.

There are a couple of stipulations to this free money. You have to be a first-time home buyer, or have not owned a home for the 3 years previous to the purchase. And your income has to be less than $75,000 for a single person or $150,000 if you are married.

This is a tax credit worth 10% or up to $8,000 towards the purchase on the home you choose to buy. Not a bad deal considering that is probably enough with combined savings to purchase that home you really want.

Time is of the essence on this deal. The program ends December 1, 2009. Don’t delay, act today. If you are serious about buying a home this year, take advantage of this deal. The government doesn’t hand out money to taxpayers very often, so use it or lose it!

Any real estate professional in your neighborhood can steer you in the right direction and get you the info you need. Please be sure to ask for the First-Time Home Buyer’s Program. There are other incentives as well that you may qualify for. The Government really does want you to buy a house, and they have given your local realtor all the details. Give them a call, or submit a question via this blog, and we will answer your questions.

Good Luck and Happy Buying!!!
