Most of us have heard about the government's new stimulus package (unless you've been out of the country, in a coma or under a rock).  But, not many understand how it will benefit them.  I'm not here to explain all the details but just the one that pertains to buying a home.  Did you know that the government is considering anyone that has never owned a home or has not owned in the last three years a first time home buyer? 

The new stimulus package is offering a tax credit (not a loan like the 2008 package) of $8,000 to any eligible buyer that is a first time home buyer or has not owned a home in the last three years.  There are some income limits and you should consult with a tax attorney before any major purchase but what better time to buy than now?

If you'd like any information on buying a home or the new tax credit, give us a call today and we'd love to help.  You can reach The Melinda Duncan Team at 859-422-2035.
