why is the newly-announced $6500 tax credit only for people that have owned their home 5 of 8 years?

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 20:46:00 GMT

Both the house and senate have agreed to extend the $8000 first-time homebuyer tax credit through May 1st, 2010. In addition, ANY homeowner that's lived in their home for 5 of the past 8 years can now also claim a $6,500 rebate as well.
This is big news for those of us in the real estate community, as this credit seems to be the driving motivation behind a large percentage of recent home-buying decisions. But, has anyone heard an explanation why the "must have owned for 5 of the past 8 years" requirement is attached to the $6500?

Our credit is poor, but we do have $10,000. I am self employed for 3 years and husband works for company. But have been late on home payments 3-5 times in the last year. That is why we want to downsize. We have $10,000 to put down on a home.

Exterior walls of Metropolis condo in Atlanta have exterior wall code 8-Asbestos?

Wed, 04 Nov 2009 14:50:00 GMT

That is what county records say. The building was built in 03 - seems unlikely they would have done anything wrong with asbestos by then.

Sat, 17 Oct 2009 18:13:00 GMT

I have seen a great increase in first time home buyers in the past few weeks hoping to take advantage of the home buyer tax credit. I am wondering why the buyers have waiting until now when the tax credits went into effect some months ago. Agents have been promoting the credits.

If you are a buyer, share your reasons for wanting to take advantage of the credits.
