March Madness

Posted to Boone County Indiana, Stacy Shoup

March is here and that means College Basketball and like they say “in 49 stated its just a game” In Indiana, it is LIFE for many people. This year the Men’s NCAA Basketball Final Four is going to be held for the first time at Lucas Oil Stadium in Downtown Indianapolis. As a life-long Indiana Resident, I am VERY Excited for March Madness and the Final Four. Indianapolis also is home to the NCAA offices and museum as well as historical Hinkle Fieldhouse, located on the Butler University Campus…very cool if you are visiting or thinking of moving to the area. My Final Four Picks for this year are: Kentucky, Syracuse, Villanova, and Ohio State.

As always, I am always available to assist you in all your Real Estate needs, I also make a pretty good tour guide of the Metro Area. Call me at 317-339-6141 or email sshoup@callcarpenter.com.

Selling your house during the Winter months

Posted to Boone County Indiana, Jeremy Page

The real estate market here in Boone County, Indiana and the surrounding counties is continuing to be active. Though we are headed into the seasonally slower time of the real estate market we anticipate the market will continue to stay strong throughout the winter months.

This time of year is actually a prime time to sell your house. Typically, there are fewer showings but the showings are to more qualified buyers. As always you have the option to deny showings during those holiday get together times. Another benefit to listing your house this time of the year is that there are not as many houses on the market so your competition declines. Are you thinking it would be nice to have a bigger, smaller or different house to have Christmas in next year? Give me a call today for a no obligation market analysis on your house. You can reach me on my cell phone at 317-413-5311.

Good News about the Tax Credit!!!

Posted to Jeremy Page

Congress has extended and expanded the homebuyer tax credit to continue stimulating the housing sector of the economy. The Senate voted 98-0 on Wednesday and yesterday the House voted 403-12 on legislation that includes the extension and expansion of the credit. The President is expected to sign off on it within the next few days.

This is good news for any first time homebuyers who have not already purchased their first home. A slightly different credit is now available to homeowners who have owned their home for 5 years.

Tax Credit Update 11/03/2009

Posted to Jeremy Page

Of course it’s not done yet but it has a solid chance of being done this week (Senate’s roll call vote was 85 yes & 2 no). Here is an article that explains what steps our Congress is taking and more clues on how the final Bill will look. We’re seeing a 7 month extension in this version + previous home buyers that have lived in their current home 5 out of the last 8 years can qualify for $6500. The income limits are higher like previous info & a new twist is the direct comments about the amount of fraud. The IRS is going to be involved now so we will see if they can protect our tax payer $$ better.

Another Update for the $8,000 Tax Credit

Posted to Jeremy Page

Below is a link that gives us more information on the status of the $8,000 tax credit for new home buyers. Looks like the Senate came to an agreement & they (Secretary of the Treasury, White House, & the Secretary of HUD) are asking for Congress to approve it. Again NOT done, but the news is still consistent that it’s going to stay alive.

The one the Senate came to an agreement on states:

  1. $8000 credit will be extended to April 30th, 2010. This is for APPLICATION DATE NOT CLOSING DATE like we have now.
  2. $8000 tax credit customer then must close by the end of June 2010.
  3. Credit would extend beyond April but would the credit amount would decrease until October. October will be the last application date & then
    the loans would need to close by December.
  4. Current home owners that have lived in their homes for 5 years would get a $6500 credit.

The Bill seems to have bipartisan support & hopefully that will continue as they get closer to voting. To read more, click here.

Tax Credit Extension

Posted to Jeremy Page

The $8,000 first time home buyer tax credit is still on the table… but per an article in US News & World Report, congress is being called by the White House to give house hunters more time to claim the tax perk. Then the Secretary of the Treasury, Tim Geithner, stated

“We welcome efforts taken by Congress to extend the first-time home buyers tax credit for a limited period.”

Lastly, the Secretary of HUD, Shaun Donovan, stated

“This credit has brought new families into the housing market & contributed to three consecutive months of rising home prices nationwide.”

So now, major parts of our Government are speaking out. Again it’s not official at all, but we can keep our fingers crossed!
