New First Time Home Buyer Tax Credits!
February 18th, 2009 Categories: Community Events

First Time Home Buyers get a big tax credit the year they purchase the home!!!
“Yeah, but I gotta pay it back over the next 15 years right???” WRONG!!!
The New Stimulus Bill Has Changed the First-time home buyer credit: It has increased to $8,000 for qualified first-time homebuyers purchasing homes after Dec. 31, 2008 and before Dec. 1, 2009; repayment requirement waived unless sold or no longer principal residence within 36 months
“So I can get a $8,000 tax credit for buying a home and dont have to pay it back???” RIGHT!!!
Only a few fairly modest “Stipulations” including:
-Credit is 10% of purchase price up to $8,000… If you purchase a home that is less than $80,000 youll only be eligible for 10% LOL: “ONLY be eligible”
-The new $8,000 credit begins to phase out for individuals with incomes over $75,000 or married couples with incomes over $150,000 filing jointly.
This is awesome news for most first time home buyers in College Station TX!!!
If you are a first time home buyer or are interested in more information Please Call Jefffrey Leatherwood @ 979.255.2788 or email Leatherwood@Century21.com www.BuyAggieland.com

BRYAN, TX — So your property value drops in a shrinking economy. What can

Property Tax Assessment
you do? Make sure that your tax value is decreasing, as well. Brazos County mails out estimates for the year 2009 in June. That’s four months away, you exclaim. Yes, plenty of time to investigate your property’s current market value and to prepare your tax appeal, I say.
