Taxes on your foreclosure? Maybe not!

|
| Did you have a foreclosure in 2007 or even a short sale? Be sure to take advantage of the 2007 rulings by IRS on foreclosure and possible exemption from income taxes. That applies to short sales also. Look at the information on the following page (an IRS tax advisory) and be sure to talk to your tax professional. CALL ME if you are short selling your home. I have experience in short sales and can help you with this tough problem. |

2008 Surprise Real Estate Buying
|
|
Are you waiting for the bottom in home prices? Have you been considering a new home? First time home buyer? There are many real estate analyst that believe we are either at bottom or near that magical point in the residential home market.
In Surprise, El Mirage, Waddell and Wittmann and the surrounding area in the under $200,000 home value market, a few months ago most homes were short sales. Now they are bank owned and slightly higher in price. Overall the number of home sales have stablized and the number of homes for sale have decreased slightly. Are we at bottom? Have we passed bottom? We really won't know if we are at bottom until after its over.
So why buy now? 3 very good reasons. First, prices are way down on average. Secondly, there are a lot of houses on market so you can select just the right house to meet your specific needs or for some of us the dream home we have always wanted.
The third reason, are interest rates and financing. I work with vendors who have interest rates well below 6% and FHA loans that significantly reduce the downpayments need. The caveat is that your credit scores has to be pretty good and you need a fairly clean report. There are programs that are funded by state and local government that can help, if you know about them!
If you are waiting for some analyst to tell you the bottom of the market is here, your too late and buying on the upswing. If you buy now it might be a little less in 6 months. Who knows? Can you time the stock market? Think of this as a long term buy. Look for what you want, selection will never be better and interest rates are great. Why wait? |

You may also find some very helpful information in the Money Taxes and Finance tab as well as the Resources tab.
Buyers (New Subdivision and Custom homes)
When thinking about a home within a subdivision, be aware of all the latest incentives that are available. Each builder is different and they change weekly. Send me an email to info@mikehortonrealty.com with your specific needs and I will keep you updated as the incentives change.
