Housng and the Obama Stimulus Package

I’ve studied the parts of the stimulus package with a direct impact on the housing situation. I have come to realize that there is much more to come that will help unclog the pipeline and get capital flowing into housing again. Here are some of the current highlights:

The loan limits will be raised to $727,000 in high cost areas.

The tax credit will be raised from a $7,000 tax credit that has to be paid back to an actual credit of $8,000 that does not have to be paid back.

Interest rates have come down 125-150 basis points

The bill has over $50 billion in it for foreclosure mitigation. Geitner’s Treasury plan signals that the second half of TARP and TALF will be used to mitigate foreclosures through a government guarantee. They will drive down interest rates and buy another $200-$300 billion of mortgage paper.

Fannie Mae has just agreed to lift the cap of 4 investment properties eligible for loans and raise it to 10.

What the housing industry did have, was preserved. This is something some tend to forget. Everything goes onto the table when these negotiations take place. Mortgage interest deductability, real estate tax deductability, and the $250,000/$500,000 capital gains exclusion will all remain in effect.

There was discussion of a $15,000 tax credit and a $22,000 Homebuilders credit as well as a 5 year loss carryback deal, but these ideas were considered too rich for this program.

First Time Homebuyer Tax Credit

Here is some new information concerning the tax credit available to first time home buyers this year.

The tax credit has been scaled down to $8,000 from $15,000, or 10% of the value of the home for any first time homebuyers who purchase homes from the start of the year until the end of November.  It starts phasing out for couples with incomes above $150,000 and single filers with incomes above $75,000.  Buyers will have to repay the credit if they sell their homes within three years.

This is another good reason for buyers to take advantage of the low interest rates and good buys that are currently out there.

Washington Economic Stimulus Package Update

Due to the efforts of the National Association of REALTORS® and specific members of Congress, we are making significant progress in regards to housing provisions in the National Economic Stimulus Bill.
 
Last week, the US House of Representatives passed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (H.R.1). This bill has some key provisions that will stimulate the housing market: It will restore FHA, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to 125 percent of median home prices – up to $729,750 It would eliminate the repayment provision for the $7,500 first time home buyer tax credit.   It expands tax-exempt housing bonds

Two days ago, the Senate approved an amendment to their bill that offers up to a $15,000 tax credit to people that purchase a home in the next year.  The credit would apply to anyone, not just first time homebuyers and you would not need to repay the credit.  The credit is based on 10% of the purchase price of the home and the credit is spread over two years.  So for example, if you buy a house with a purchase price of $300,000, you would qualify for the maximum credit of $15,000.  The first year you claim the credit, you receive $7,500, and you would receive the remaining $7,500 the next year.
