OK, I'm a proud dad, but wanted to share a picture my 13 year old daughter shot yesterday

Not real estate related, but wanted to share a picture my 13 year old daughter shot yesterday.  Thanks for taking time to view it.  Reminds me of my favorite season fall, changing colors, football, crisp mornings, beautiful fall sunsets, etc... enjoy.

First Time Home Buyers Score Big With New Housing Bill

First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit
First time home buyers will receive a nice gift from the Federal Government when they prepare their tax returns for 2008 or 2009.  The new tax credit will provide first time home buyers a tax benefit that is essentially a 15-year interest-free loan (up to $7,500 depending on your tax status) for first time home buyers purchasing a home between April 9, 2008 and June 30, 2009.  The benefit begins to phase out for single people earning more than $75,000 or couples earning more than $150,000.  The real benefit of this tax credit is that is reduces your tax liability dollar for dollar, thereby increasing your IRS refund by up to the program limit of $7,500.  So if you are getting back $1,000 on your tax return, it will increase to $8,500.  Or if you owe $5,000 to the IRS, you will still get back $2,500. 

For more information on how this new law will benefit you, please call Kevin Tinsley at All Tech Mortgage & Real Estate (253) 472-1500.  Your Tacoma Real Estate Professional, Serving the entire Puget Sound Region.

It's a great time to buy a new home in Pierce County including Gig Harbor, Lakewood & Tacoma

It's a Buyer's Market: Get more for your money: For the first time in a long time, relax. You're buying a home and you're in the driver's seat. At least for now, you can get a great deal on a new home in the Tacoma, South Puget Sound area. Builders are offering upgrades, mortgage interest buy-downs and a host of other incentives. 

Tax Benefits: Looking for a way to lower your taxes? Who isn't? As a homeowner, if the value of your home exceeds your mortgage, you can subtract the interest incurred from your mortgage payment as well as deduct your property taxes from your taxable income, saving you money.

Great Selections: You're ready to move now. You don't want to wait 6 to 7 months for your dream home to be built. Plan a weekend to visit communities in Tacoma, Gig Harbor, & Puyallup, and what you'll discover is an ample variety of move-in-now homes. The odds are likely you can find exactly what you're looking for already constructed. However, the supply won't last forever. As inventory shrinks, your move-in timeline expands and your fantastic selection will be gone. 

Interest Rates: Interest rates are near historic lows and mortgage companies are offering more product choices than ever. It's hard to make history. These rates will not last long; and, once they start rising, they probably won't decrease to today's level any time soon. Take advantage while it lasts. 

Equity: No one would be opposed to having some extra spending money. As your equity grows, you can use it to pay for your son's college expenses, that vintage Corvette you've been wanting for years, your eldest daughter's spring wedding, your looming retirement or for that second vacation home in Aspen. Your 401(k) should be so useful.

Leveraging: Make a down payment of as little as 5% of the value of the home. Earn returns based on the total value of the property. Plus, you get to live there. What's not to like about that? 

Amenities: New construction comes with a lot of perks, not to mention more time. More time to spend enjoying your gourmet kitchen, pool and spa, tile and wood flooring, mini-spa bathroom, home theater and abundant space for your kids, pets, hobbies, guests and in-laws. Think about it. You could spend your time fixing it up, or spend your time living it up. 

Energy and Resource Efficiency: Utility costs can really put a dent in your wallet. Builders realize the importance of making homes more energy-efficient, especially in Northwest. That's why new homes are being constructed with resource-conserving materials and environmentally-conscious methods. 

Construction Quality: Pierce County building codes have changed dramatically, and newly-built homes in the Pierce County area are stronger, safer, more durable, more tightly constructed, better insulated, cheaper to insure and capable of withstanding the natural elements of our beautiful Northwest environment.

How Does the HomeBuyerRewards Program Work?

We get asked this question quite a bit, so we have decided to write a blog post that explains how homebuyers can take advantage of this unique program.  To begin, we have to explain how the real estate industry has evolved.  Prior to the Internet, most real estate information was disseminated via local real estate companies and agents.  If you wanted to know what homes were on the market or what a particular home sold for, you had to contact a local agent.  Fast forward to today, and all this information is now readily available on a variety of different websites.   The National Association of Realtors projects 80-90% of homebuyers are using the Internet to gather information about the homebuying & financing process.  HomeBuyerRewards.com was created especially for the Do-it-Yourself types.  Those that are familiar with the area they want to buy in, comfortable with real estate process, and simply need a professional to handle the paperwork. 

Here's how HomeBuyerRewards works.

Step 1:   Call our office at (253) 472-1500 and get started with your mortgage pre-approval.  Our affiliate mortgage company will prepare all the necessary paperwork to get your mortgage pre-approved. 

Step 2:  Search around the various websites looking for your dream home.  Sites like HomeBuyerRewards.com, JohnLScott.com, Windermere.com or Remax.com are great sites to get started. 

Step 3:  Once you have narrowed your home search down to the homes you would like more information on, email our office with the MLS numbers or the property address.  We will prepare a market analysis and begin to schedule your home tour. 

Step 4:  We tour the homes you have identified in step 3.  If you are ready to make an offer we will head back to the office and complete the paperwork.  If not, it's back to step 2 to identify another group of homes to view.

Step 5:  Once your contract has been accepted, we process the mortgage paperwork, handle all the inspection details, coordinate with the title and escrow companies to insure a smooth transaction. 

Step 6:  Closing - Use your HomeBuyerRewards Rebate as a credit towards your closing costs, property upgrades or as a check paid to you after closing.  Here's an easy way to calculate your rebate.  Most homes pay the buyer's agent 3%, so multiply the sales price by 3%, then divide by 2.  Example:  $400,000 sales price X 3% = 12,000.  12,000 / 2 = $6,000 your HomeBuyerRewards Rebate!  ** In some cases the commission is less than 3%, actual rebate may vary.

Feel free to call our office at (253) 472-1500 located at 7403 Lakewood Dr W, STE 2 Lakewood, WA 98499.  All Tech Mortgage & Real Estate.
