Manalapan and Marlboro New Jersey First Time Homebuyers & The $8,000 Tax Credit

Here is a summary of the new First Time Homebuyer Tax Credit.  Thanks to Ann Arbor's own Missy Caulk for use of the fabulous chart!

The new bill increases the size of the existing temporary (and refundable) first-time home buyer credit to $8,000, up from $7,500. It will not be applicable for nonfirst time homebuyers, but it also removes the requirement under current law that the credit be paid back if the buyer stays in the home for at least three years. And it extends the credit's expiration date to Dec. 1, 2009, from July 1. Those eligible for this credit must have purchased a home after Jan. 1, 2009, and before Dec. 1, 2009.

First time homebuyers, search the Monmouth County MLS for your next home today!

Weichert Realtors (Marlboro-Manalapan) Homebuyer Affordability Seminar

Weichert Marlboro Homebuyer Seminar

If you’ve been on the fence about whether now is the right time to buy a new home, here’s the best reason yet to hop off:  your dream home just became more affordable.  That’s because the federal government has now taken steps that caused interest rates to drop considerably.  For example, a $250,000 30-year fixed rate loan could save you as much as $220 a month now versus just one month ago.*

Whether you’re a first time buyer, a trade-up buyer, or a parent interested in helping your kids buy a home, you can learn why now is a great time to dive in at this seminar on home affordability.  Featured speakers will include financial and real estate specialists.

Admittance is free!

 

Saturday January 24th, 11am

455 Route 9 South

Manalapan, NJ 07726
