I just returned from a wonderful vacation week at the Jersey Shore. The weather couldn’t have been better – it didn’t start to rain until we were leaving the island!
Anyway, I am not ready to return to work – but having neglected my blog for over a week, I thought I would pop on and post about a price reduction at one of my listings: www.160MountAiryRoad.com was reduced to $317,500 while I was away. If ever there was a better time to take advantage of the First Time Home Buyer tax credit – this is the property with which to do it!
Other activity on my listings while I was away – www.309EnglishPlace.com has gone under contract and www.787OldFarmRoad.com has worked through the inspection issues and is almost ready to close!

This is a question that only YOU can answer! The $8,000 tax credit sounds very appealing – and it certainly is a GREAT deal! Especially while prices are still low and interest rates are still manageable. Owning your first home is a big step, and of course it is going to be a little stressful going through the process – finding a house, making an offer, feeling confident while negotiating, understanding the paperwork, writing the checks – but it should also be fun and exciting. Iwant you to sleep at night – or not sleep because you are excited but not because you are worried sick over it!
If you are feeling like the people in any of these videos, it is time to contact me.
