It’s time for some really good news!

1. Approved. The $8,000 tax credit is available to “First Time” Home Buyers who haven’t owned a primary residence in the past three years (0r $4,000 to married buyers filing separately).

2. NEW! A $6,500 tax credit is available to Current Home Owners who have lived in their primary residence for 5 of the last 8 years. (Or $3,200 for married buyers filing separately).

3. # INCREASED! Available to buyers with an adjusted gross income of $125K (for single purchasers) or $225K (for purchasers filing jointly). The credit is phased out for incomes over these amounts.

4. CHANGED! Tax credit now expires on April 30th, 2010. That means your home purchase has to be in contract by April 30th and will need to close by July 1, 2010. That opens the door for many short sales which can take months to close!

5. MAKES SENSE. Cost of purchased home must be less than $800,000.

6. AGAIN.The $ is a CREDIT. For example, if buyers owe the IRS Zero, they will get a check for $8,000 (or $6,500) from the IRS.

Call us for neighborhood stats or regional tips.

Tucson, Arizona

The most recent issue of AARP magazine www.aarp.com listed Tucson as the #1 best place to live for Free’n’ easy cities.  Tucson, Arizona is rich with culture, great food, and low stress…and affordable housing. The median price os a home in Tucson is $155,500. The poplution in Tucson city proper is 525,500 and if you add Marana, Vail, Oro Valley, and other surrounding areas the popluation is approximately 850,000. 

We are considered a Metroplolitin city but with a smal town attitude…the average commut is 24 minutes. We do not have any rail system or sophistocated freeways. The Tucson vibe is all over with latin culture, Native Amercian reservations and pow wows, and of course the Cowboy grit…we are one of the astronomy capitals of the world. Some of the more relaxing activities include hiking, biking, and golf!

Tucson is located just 1 hour north of the Mexican border and 3.5 hoursd from the Sea of Cortez. Tucson’s desert is very unique with 150 year old Saguaro cacti…southern most ski area-Mount Lemmon just 1 hour up the mountain.

If you are a seller in the Tucson luxury home market right now…you must be looking for answers. There are little buyers in the luxury home market for the simple reason that jumbo loans are expensive to obtain.  Some of the new requirements include a 30 percent down payment and proof of income. Imagine that! Jumbo loans are typically at a higher interest rate than lower limit mortgages and this has contributed to the 15 percent drop in market share. In Tucson we range from 18 month – 24 month supply of inventory homes priced over $417,000.

For example, a Stone Canyon custom home featured as one of the ‘Street of Dreams” designer award winning homes just sold for $1.2 million down form the advertised priced during the show at $2.8 million. This was a “SHORT SALE”…

We have the list for Stone Canyon, HoneyBee, Dove Mountain, Canyon Pass, Catalina Foothills, La Reserve,  Sky Ranch, Canada Hills Estates, High Mesa, The 8th Green, Naranja Ranch, Coyote Ridge, Tangerine Heights, Copper Ridge, Sunridge II, and much more!
