Clock is Ticking for First-Time Homebuyer Tax Credit

To be eligible for a tax credit of up to $8,000, first-time homebuyers have until the end of business on Nov. 30th to close their loans.  There has been discussion that some members of Congress want to extend and increase the homebuyer tax credit, but it remains to be seen if an extension or enhancements will be made.
 
Historically, it has taken 30-60 days to close a loan; however, new appraisal and disclosure requirements that recently took effect may add extra time to the closing process.  To be certain Atlanta new homebuyers can take advantage of the tax benefit -as the law stands today- interested buyers should apply for their loan no later than the beginning of October to be able to close the loan prior to the deadline. 
For additional information on the homebuyer tax credit or any other mortgage needs, contact Lisa Dozier at Peachtree Residential Mortgage, an affiliate of Wells Fargo Home Mortgage, at lisa.a.dozier@peachtreemtg.com or (770) 495-0241.

Now is the Time to "Get Off the Fence!"

This week, James B. Stewart, columnist for SmartMoney magazine and SmartMoney.com, recapped some recent housing statistics and wrote as follows:

“In short, the data suggest that real-estate prices hit a bottom some time during the second quarter, and have now begun to rise. There’s no way to be certain that this marks the end of the long, painful correction that followed the real-estate bubble, but clearly prices are no longer in free-fall. That means if you’ve been sitting on the fence, it’s time to act.”

He goes on to add, “with real-estate prices nationally now down about 30% from their 2006 peak and showing signs of turning up, the prices aren’t likely to go much lower…I can’t imagine a better time to buy than now.”

At Peachtree Residential, we are still offering some of the best pricing and incentives in our 21-year history (see yesterday’s blog post regarding “Homes of the Month” for September).  Don’t be among those who miss the bottom.  If you’ve been considering the purchase of a new home, now is the time to “get off the fence!”

"Homes of the Month" Announced for September!

This week, several of our communities were given an incredible price on ONE particular home that has been designated the neighborhood’s “Home of the Month” for September.  The price is good until the end of this month only – if it lasts that long before it it sold!  The prices given on these homes are truly unheard of, especially for Atlanta area new homes with full builder warranties including Peachtree’s new Ten-Year Structural Warranty! 

Visit our website at www.peachtreeresidential.com  to see if a Home of the Month opportunity has been announced at your Atlanta area community of choice!

Nearing the Light at the End of the Tunnel?

Today’s statement by the Federal Reserve that “economic activity is leveling out” may be their most bullish assessment of the economy in more than a year, and suggests that a recovery may have started.

CNN Money calls the statement “the most explicit declaration yet that the recession that started in December 2007 has come to an end.”

In other recent housing market news, CEO of one of the nation’s leading public homebuilders told CNBC that the bottom of the luxury market hit two to three months ago, incentives are disappearing and prices have been increasing over the past several weeks.

We at Peachtree Residential are still offering some incredible incentives including our recently announced promotion of HALF OFF on up to $50,000 in options on presales, but this will not last long.  Don’t miss out!

At Peachtree Residential we have always been proud to boast not only about the meticulous craftsmanship and superior quality of each and every Atlanta new home that we build, but about our commitment to personalized service and 100% customer satisfaction. Last Wednesday was a perfect example of the results of that commitment.  We closed four homes – each in a different one of our Atlanta area communities – and received PERFECT survey scores on our product, quality and service from each new homeowner.  In addition, all four homeowners said that YES, they would be “Very Likely” to recommend Peachtree to their friends or associates who were looking to purchase a new home in Atlanta.

 

Perfect surveys such as these are our goal with each and every new customer.  If you are in the market for a new home, we invite you to join the more than 3,500 happy Peachtree homeowners in our Atlanta area communities.  For community information, visit our website at https://www.peachtreeresidential.com/ today!
