If you're a renter, that $8,000 tax credit looks pretty good right about now, doesn't it!  Not to mention all the other benefits of owning a home:

• Don't worry about getting a 30-day notice to vacate from your landlord
• Tax write-offs for mortgage interest
• Future appreciation
• Invest in your family's future with a tangible asset
• YOU choose the paint & flooring YOU like!
• Stable owner-occupied home for your family

Owner-occupied houses show pride of ownership, whereas rental homes generally do not.  Owner-occupied homes provide stable and secure environments for children to grow up in.  Neighborhoods of owner-occupied homes retain higher property values, even in downward markets.

If you're waiting for the market to hit bottom, here's a question for you:  When will you know it's hit bottom?  AFTER it's hit bottom and already on the way back up!

So don't wait, make that move right now.  Call me if you'd like an experienced Realtor® by your side (888) 550 - 9340.  I can help you locate a realiable, trustworthy real estate agent in your area.
