Everywhere I go people ask about the market and some have asked…What caused our market here in Thomasville to falter? It is not hard to answer this question. In 2004 and 2005 we had an influx of retirees and new people moving here…prices of the homes increased and the local sellers were move up buyers buying new homes…Then came “the irrational exuberance” we experienced in 2005 into early 2007.  Buyers were everywhere for a while, lenders were doing no doc loans, sub-prime loans and the builders/developers were “making a killing” (real estate agents too).  Then in early 2007, the steady stream slowed to a trickle.  Lots of houses on the market, number of contracts went down, real estate agents and builders scratching their head wondering how they were going to continue or to fund the lavish lifestyle change they were paying for when “life was good”.

When the real estate market went down in early 2007, the ripple turned into a tsunami that has affected the buyers, sellers, builders, developers, agents and all the people that are supported by the housing industry.

Tax Credit for Home Purchases Could Rise

By: Stephanie Amour -  USA Today

Lawmakers and businesses are calling for expansion of a tax credit for first-time home buyers that has helped spark home sales in an otherwise dismal real estate market.

With the tax credit scheduled to expire in fall, some business groups say the amount of the credit, now capped at $8,000, should be raised to $15,000 and applied to anyone who buys a home.

First-time buyers make up a hefty 40% of home purchases, according to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), which is about 5 percentage points higher than the historical average.

The credit, introduced in July 2008, was expanded in February as part of the economic stimulus package. The proposals may face headwinds amid growing public criticism of government spending to rescue the economy and the widening budget deficit.

Some economists say a tax benefit is vital to spur home buying and help stabilize prices.

Yesterday mornings Thomasville Times Enterprise (10/17/09) had an article that said “Large Banks believe recession will end around late summer”…the nations largest banks are saying that we will be recovering soon…consumer spending has stabilized after dropping sharply at the end of last year. The article went on to say that the housing market will bottom out this year, which will contribute to economic growth for the first time in a few years.

So…we are seeing signs of recovery!

With the promise of an $8000 tax credit for first time buyers and 100% USDA loans, we are seeing an increase in the number of “lookers”. Financing options are available for those with steady income and good credit. Sellers are pricing their homes more competitively. So with prices right, affordable interest rates and good news that we are seeing economy improvements…the market is turning to better times!

Are you or somebody you know facing the possibility of foreclosure? Foreclosure is an awful word and is something that our friends, our family and neighbors hope to never have to deal with…but if the word foreclosure might be in your future, let the local RE/MAX office help you before it is too late. Many homeowners just ignore the symptoms…not enough money to pay their house payment, running your credit cards to the max, applying for new cards and just hoping things will be better soon. If you or one of your friends has these symptoms, it is time to simply call for help. Don’t just put it off. Your lender does not want to foreclose on you and often will allow you to short sale your home, which may not affect your credit score, like a foreclosure will. Or sometimes your lender will allow you some type of loan modifications. Please know that the RE/MAX office here in Thomasville, GA will be glad to talk to you and help you through the tough times. We have an office full of Outstanding Agents that produce Outstanding Results and our goal is to be available to help those in need.  We can not guarantee we will be able to stop the foreclosure, but we do promise we will give you our best efforts. We do care and are committed to our customers and clients.
