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.

ECONOMIC STIMULUS PLAN FOR HOUSING

Every 1,000 first-time home sales generated $126 million in other economic
activity.

Every 1,000 home sales creates 935 jobs and $37.5 million in wages.
 
Until the housing market recovers, the hole in the sate budget will continue to
grow.  Real Estate Excise Tax collections were 28% lower in 2008 than 2007. That
means $278 million less for the State’s General Fund. 

These are the legislative priorities of the Washington Association of REALTORS
for 2009:
 
STEP 1:  Bolster Demand -  help first-time home buyers.

A.  Provide down payment assistance to help first-time  homebuyers (41% of the
current arket share) become home owners.  Helping first time home buyers creates
a powerful ripple through the general economy.

B.  Increase the Washington State Housing Finance Commission’s bond capacity to
expand down payment assistance.
 

STEP 2:  Prevent Over-Supply – help families hold on to their  homes.

A.  Prevent foreclosures by expanding homebuyer education and counseling programs and expanding refinancing options.

B.  Clarify the distressed properties law to remove roadblocks to home sales.
 

STEP 3:  “Do No Harm” to our struggling real estate market.

A.  Stop taxes on real estate, business or services that would further harm the
housing and commercial sectors.

B.  Do not create additional barriers to home sales.

PMI MOrtgage Insurance Company Rates Seattle: Minimal Risk of Seeing Property

I reviewed the Market Risk report that PMI Mortgage Insurance Company prepares
each year.  Our area was not listed under the worst performing area, nor was it
listed in the best.  Put simply, this PMI risk index measures the likelihood of
lower home prices in two years.  Our area’s risk is categorized as minimal and
has a 10% to 30 % chance that a home’s value will decrease within the next 2
years.  This is not great, but happily we’re not Sacramento California with a
99.9% chance of lower values.  Keep in mind, this index is not referencing value
specifically, it is referencing the probability of the value decreasing.
