Make Your Tax Credit Home Purchase Count by Adding THOUSANDS with an ARG Buyer Cash Rebate! Only 3 Weeks Left

Wednesday, April 7th, 2010 at 4:59pm. 230 Views, 0 Comments.

Times a wastin' if you are wanting to lower your cost basis in a brand new home! Why not multiple your Federal home buyer cash back tax credit with an ARG buyer cash rebate up to 3 FULL PERCENT of your new home's sales price?

New homes are still available for a June 30th close all over Collin County, BUT you must act now and be under contract by APRIL 30th to qualify for the Tax Credit on closings before June 30th. If you miss the April 30th contract deadline, you miss the tax credit.

Example: New Home sale price $200K. First time home buyer tax credit =$8,000, ARG Buyer Cash Rebate = *$6000 (3%) for a total cash back amount of $14,000! Now tell me that don't help!

Collin County February 2010 Home Closings Up 40% over January 2010 as DFW Housing Market Rebounds Sharply

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010 at 10:36pm. 357 Views, 0 Comments.

We all can use a little good news today and home sales can certainly be that good news if you are a DFW / Collin County home owner wanting to sell. February home closings in Collin County have boomed upwards nearly 40% over January 2010 closings. Home prices have also firmed and in many cases are pushing the upper end of neighborhood comps or creating new high COMPS. The fact is home prices go down and up and right now the economic cycle is pointing up. Comparable Home Values or COMPS are a "rear view" mirror measurement of value that show where we were, but not necessarily where we are going. So in a rising market COMPS act as a counter weight to price increases but do not stop prices from rising, otherwise we all would still be paying $40K for our homes…


PRE-MLS Announcement - West Allen Luxury Model - Be First in Line - 3% ARG Cash Rebate! This one is LOADED!

Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010 at 3:11pm. 629 Views, 1 Comments.

img_4919-a_400Its hard to get that "Model Home" look in unless of course you actually buy a Model Home! That is one of the reasons Model Homes typically don't last long and are hard to find. Most Model Homes would cost way more to build and deck out then what the builder will accept when they finally sell and that is why buying a model is such a treat, but remember acting sooner than later if you want a chance to buy!

img_5022-a_400This particular Model Home is NOT in MLS, but YES it is for sale with an estimated closing date of June through August. This particular luxury level 5 Bedroom Model comes with all the modern electronics, fully decked out eat-in 2 tier Media Room with webar, Window Treatments, Refrigerator, Washer and Dryer and First dibbs on Art work, Pool Table and model…


Tax Credit Deadline for New Construction has Now PASSED - What To Do If You Want To Buy NEW?

Monday, March 1st, 2010 at 8:09am. 490 Views, 0 Comments.

I was wondering WHY when the home buyer tax credit extension was passed that someone who knew how the process worked could not have sat down with the legislators so the new deadline to act was based on CONTRACT DATE as opposed to closing date. Well they got it half right. The DEADLINE to contract is April 30th, so if you are looking for a nice preexisting MLS listed home then your last date to contract is 4/30/2010. Now we all get that.

CLOSING DATE FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION HAS PASSED

The April 30th deadline date really does not speak to NEW HOMES that have to be built. This is where CONGRESS should have said - wait! For new construction we will ONLY require a deadline to contract, but NOT to close. Instead the April 30th deadline SHOULD HAVE allowed for ample…
