Lets talk about the “f” word – Foreclosure. We’ve seen a lot of attention lately to President Obama’s plan to help distressed home owners avoid foreclosure, and relieve the pressure of those drastically reduced priced homes on the market. What does this mean for you, the buyer of a condo here in Atlanta? Is an Atlanta Foreclosure a good deal for you? Will action by Congress keep you from getting an unbelievably good deal, or sweeten the deal more for you?

So what is the story with the stimulus and the tax credit for first time home buyers anyway? How different is it from the tax credit that already exists? Originally, a $15000 stimulus credit was discussed, one that would be open to all home buyers who had not purchased within the past three years. This would have carried a $19 billion price tag. Congress reduced it to $8000. But you still are eligible if you have not owned a home within the past three years.

Afforable living in Buckhead is within your realm of possibilities. Priced from 170K to 460K, the Atlanta Condo homes at Realm are certainly within your reach – and now is a particularly good time to buy. The economic stimulus bill that is before Congress will not give you a $15000 credit as a first time home buyer, but it will give you one of up to $8000. That’s only $500 more than the present $7500, but this time, there are fewer limitations. At present, you have to pay the $7500 credit back over 15 years. The new $8000 credit will not have to be paid back unless you sell within three years. And we sweeten the deal too, when we give you cash back at closing. Prices and interest rates for qualified buyers are still low.
