Leave a comment » Homeowner Tax Credit is About to Come to an End for Pasadena Home BuyersHome buyer's tax credit is expiring this week.The heat is on for those who are out shopping for Pasadena homes right now - as the Homebuyers Tax Credit is about to come to an end. Last November, the government expanded and extended the new Homebuyers Tax Credit. According to the program, first-time homebuyers are eligible for a tax credit of up to 10% of the purchase price of the home, with a maximum credit of $8,000. And current homeowners are eligible for up to $6,500. Although military personnel may qualify for a special extension, the vast majority of homeowners must have contracts in effect no later than April 30, 2010 and must close no later than June 30, 2010 to qualify for the credit. This means that homebuyers now have less than one week to get their paperwork going to qualify for this credit, before it goes away! Here are some important details about this tax credit. Dollar-for-Dollar Benefit The benefit of a tax credit is that it's a dollar-for-dollar benefit, rather than a "tax deduction" or reduction in tax liability that would only reduce $1,000 to $1,500 when all was said and done. So, if a first-time homebuyer who qualified for the entire benefit were to owe $8,000 in income taxes and would qualify for a tax credit of $8,000, she would owe nothing. Even Better... It's Refundable! Remember, because it's a tax credit, it's refundable! That means a homebuyer can receive a check for the credit if he or she has little or no income tax liability. For example, if a first-time homebuyer is eligible for a tax credit of $8,000 but is liable for $4,000 in income tax, she can still receive a check for the remaining $4,000! What are the Income Caps? Single tax filers with incomes up to $125,000 are eligible for the total credit amount. Those who earn more than this cap can receive a partial credit. However, single filers with incomes of $145,000 and above are ineligible. Joint filers with incomes up to $225,000 are eligible for the total credit amount. Those who earn more than this cap can receive a partial credit. However, joint filers with incomes of $245,000 and above are ineligible. What's the Maximum Purchase Price? Qualifying buyers may purchase a property with a maximum sales price of $800,000.

Leave a comment » Monterey Hills Condo Sales are on the RiseMonterey Hills condo and townhome sales for 1Q10Monterey Hills condo sales are slowly.... very slowly... rising. Only 4 closed condo sales last month. However, the inventory of newly listed condo units is up to 9 last month with the overall volume still staying under 20 properties. If you are shopping for a Monterey Hills townhome, you have a long wait... nothing is coming up for sale. Home owners in Monterey Hills are holding on to their condos and townhomes and rent them vs sell them to avoid taking a hit in the selling price. Since this area is only minutes to downtown LA and is loved by USC Medical students for the convenience to the USC medical center, Pasadena's old town, restaurants and shops, these Pasadena agent condos are quite easy to rent. Most units are 2 bedrooms and 2 baths and quite a few floor plans have 2 master suites with bedrooms on opposite sides of the living room - great for room mates.
