Is the Tax Credit Working?

new-constructionI recently came across an article by the (CBIA) California Building Industry Association entitled, “New-Home Sales Still Historically Slow in February”. The title does suggest that this is indeed another sub-par month for the real estate business as well as our economy but as I read on I did find some very positive news that will hopefully bring us closer to the bright future.  Positive news such as, us finally seeing the bottom of the housing declines.

I am current working with some clients who are interested in purchasing their first home in a New-Home Community.  They would be Eligible for both the $10,000 New-Home Tax Credit as well as the $8,000 First Time Homebuyers Tax Credit.  This of course would make a huge difference for them financially, who wouldn’t want an extra $18,000 in credit when purchasing a home?
