Market Update
Good News for Puyallup Home Sellers
Puyallup continues to show signs of life for potential home sellers hoping to take advantage of the current market and upgrade to a larger home. Puyallup home owners priced correctly in the $250,000 and under price range have a unique opportunity to sell their homes quickly and become a coveted "move up buyer" in the higher price ranges. While good quality, well priced, single family homes are selling briskly under $250,000 the higher price ranges are still loaded with great values. Many of these potential "move up" buyers will also benefit from the $6,500 tax credit as well. If your family has outgrown your current home, you might want to explore your options.

Will the First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit be extended?
As we approach the deadline for closing on purchases to qualify for the First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit of $8,000, I am often asked what the chances are that the program will be extended. The answer to the question is always the same; your guess is as good as mine. However, I can give an update on what is happening in Congress where the decision will be made.

This bill extends the First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit one full year for Military personnel (and some Civilian Federal workers)…

I asked one of the local lenders we work with to prepare a simple post to help you determine which price range is right for you to buy in based upon payment. As usual Ron has over achieved and provided you with a detailed comparison of 3 popular mortgage payments and their corresponding price ranges including taxes and mortgage insurance where applicable.
It's important to point out that while these hypothetical examples are quite detailed, each situation has it's own variables. Rates, terms and availability of financing can change daily. The examples are for general information and should be verified independently by your mortgage professional.
