It's smart to buy in New Jersey.
Forbes Magazine recently named the Philadelphia-Camden-Wilmington, Pa.-N.J.-Del.-Md. area #7 on their "10 Cities Where it's Smarter to Buy" list. The locales were chosen based on economists' predictions for increased home prices in the next five years and a low premium to buy - the spread between what individuals spend to rent and what they'd pay for a mortgage.
It's a great time to trade up.
The 2009 federal tax credit for first-time buyers has been expanded to include repeat buyers. That means that existing homeowners can qualify for up to $6,500 (or $3,200 for those filing separately) when they buy a home - a significant incentive to trade up to that dream home.
Learning about the tax credit is easy.
Are you a recent buyer? Unsure if you may be eligible for the entire credit or perhaps a portion of $8,000 from the federal government? A free webinar, open to the public, will be held on Thursday, February 18, 2010 from 4:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. to address specific instances of: 1) who's eligible to receive a home buyer tax credit, and 2) how to claim the money. Featuring a presentation from Linda Goold, tax counsel for the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS®, the webinar will outline specific scenarios, such as married/unmarried couples, who qualifies as a "first-time" buyer or long-term homeowner who is a "repeat buyer."
