On November 9, President Obama signed an extension of the Home Buyer tax credit as part of a $24 billion economic stimulus bill that will also extend unemployment benefits. The tax credit applies to new and resale homes. There are some significant changes to the tax credit that was due to expire at the end of this month. Namely, the new tax credit is for first time home buyers (anyone who has not owned a home in the previous 3 years) who purchase a home by April 30, 2010 or by June 30, 2010 when a binding purchase agreement was in place by April 30, 2010. The tax credit is equal to 10% of the purchase price up to a maximum of $8,000 and is refundable meaning you can get the money back even if your tax bill is less than the amount of the tax credit. The income limits were increased to an...

In a basic economics class we learned about supply and demand - I think basically in the past two year to summarize the issues in real estate is to much supply (to many homes for sale) and way to little demand (buyers that have the ability and desire to get a loan and buy a home). As I look at the stats from September for the metro area - September was a tough month I think because of the floods and mortgage issues in the market.  But one bright spot is the supply of homes for sale in Atlanta - at the end of September they were approximately 47,000 homes - that is down from a high of 70,000 homes and is consistent with the supply back in January 2006.  As the supply of homes decrease that should stablize prices.  What we do not know is how much supply will come on the market once prices...

Last week I read in the Atlanta Journal that nationwide 83% of the homes sold were priced at $250K and below, while 50% of the homes sold were priced at $125K and below.  The effects of the first time home buyers tax credits effect has been incredible. In Forsyth county Ga I have helped many people purchase homes, and the number of first time home buyers in Cumming Ga is different than the National Average. Approximately 47% of the homes sole from January to August 2009 were priced at $250K and below while 42% of the homes sales during that time period were priced from $250K to 500K (according to data from FMLS).  A total of just under 90% of the homes sold were priced at $500 K and below.  Are you considering selling a home in Cumming - call John Foster and I can help you understand wh...

One way to judge how the market is performing is to look at the number of homes under contract at the end of the month in relation to the inventory levels - the higher the percentage the quicker the inventory is turning over.  The chart below shows Cumming (areas 221,222,& 223 in the FMLS) or Forsyth County Ga. In 2007 you will see between 15-18% of the homes were under contract for the first half of the year, then the second half of the year it drops to 8% - that was the beginning of the real estate issues.  In 2008 we see a range of 7% to 12%, but each lower than the prior year.  The good news is in April the pending homes % was higher than the year before and has stayed higher since that time.  That shows the market is strengthening from a resale standpoint.  From the buyers point of...

My son in law's father Jon has just arrived in Kuwait with his reserve unit. This is Jon's 2nd tour in the Far East. The first was in Baghdad. Jon is a warrant officer in charge of a motor vehicle maintenance. He is 53 years old. To all of our service men and women and all the families with family members in harms way I never forget the sacrifices you are making. If I just had a home sale fall through and I am feeling sorry for myself I just think of Jon and those like him and I realize my problems don't compare. Here is Jon's somewhat humorous take on daily life in the desert.
