Lake Toxaway Homes for Sale
Friday, November 20th, 2009
Many of us interested in buying a home have been put off by the uncertainty of these economic times and the housing market itself. Frankly, the time to buy a home is NOW! Not only is housing inventory high right now, but there has been an extension of the government incentive of First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit. In fact, it has been expanded to include current homeowners as well.
The definition of a first time homebuyer is somewhat liberal. The purchase must occur between November 7, 2009 and April 30, 2010 and the maximum allowable credit for first time homebuyers is $8,000. In order to qualify, the buyer (or spouse) must not have owned a home in the past three years. Single buyers with incomes up to $125,000 and married couples with incomes up to $225,000 may receive the tax credit. If income exceeds these amounts, some buyers may still be eligible for the credit. The amount of the credit decreases for buyers who earn between $125,000 and $145,000 for single buyers and $245,000 for homebuyers filing jointly. The amount of the tax credit decreases as his/her income approaches the maximum limit. Homebuyers earning more than the maximum qualifying income – over $145,000 for singles and over $245,000 for couples are not eligible for the credit.
There’s also good news for current homeowners, wishing to purchase a new or existing home between November 7, 2009 and April 30, 2010. If those current homeowners have used their home being sold or vacated as a principal residence for five consecutive years within the last eight, they are also eligible for up to a maximum $6,500 in tax credit.
Not only is the tax credit available on single family homes, but also on other primary residences such as condos, townhomes and co-ops purchased for $800,000 or less. As long as a written binding contract to purchase is in effect on April 30, 2010, the purchaser will have until July 1, 2010 to close and still qualify for the credit. The credit does not have to be repaid if he/she occupies the home for three years or more. However, if the property is sold during the three year period, the full amount of credit will be recouped on the sale.
The above information should instill enough confidence in some of us to help us get off the fence we’ve been sitting on. The buyers’ market we’re in right now won’t last forever and neither will the enticement of the Extended Home Buyer Tax Credit. Now, more than ever, is the time to consider that home you’ve wanted or needed!

Merry Soellner’s www.cashiersncland.com website recently earned the title of Google’s
Top Ranking Real Estate Website for Sapphire NC homes and land, Glenville home for sale, Franklin NC real estate, Brevard NC land, Cashiers NC homes for sale, Highlands NC homes and land, Lake Toxaway real estate
This ranking changes up and down daily. The most solid spot seems to be Cashiers Homes and Land. Merry Soellner was delighted to see her efforts paying off for her providing responsive, professional and friendly real estate services to a growing clientele from all over the United States and the World. The coveted title of top real estate broker for the Cashiers, Highlands, Brevard, Lake Toxaway, Glenville, Franklin and Sapphire areas changes daily. Even so, Merry was pleased to see that the number of votes (or clicks) obtained from her clients and new visitors to her informative website seem to be stimulating her real estate business.
Merry Soellner recently received a major vote of confidence from her fellow realtors, having been elected to a 3-year term as a new in-coming Director for the Cashiers-Highlands Board of Realtors. Merry Soellner has the distinction of being a member of the Brevard-Asheville Board of Realtors as well, something in which few realtors in the Cashiers-Highlands-Lake Toxaway participate.
When asked why Merry seemed to be enjoying such high rankings, she said that her website traffic has increased dramatically, due to her increased showings of homes and land in the Cashiers real estate, Highlands real estate and Lake Toxaway real estate markets. She also has continued to conduct exhaustive previews for new clients for Glenville homes for sale, Sapphire homes for sale and Franklin homes for sale. “I think the fact that I really work hard, previewing as many as 20 homes in just 2 days, makes sure that I hit the mark assigned to me by my clients is part of it,” Merry said.

Homes for sale, homes for sale! Inventory everywhere!
You’re probably asking yourself, “Why would I want to buy a home now? The housing market CAN’T be as low as it’s going to go!”
Looking for a Home on the WNC Plateau? Come Here for Cashiers Real Estate, Lake Toxaway Homes for Sale, Glenville Land and Homes, Highlands Homes for Sale
Well, I would ask you to consider where it is you want to purchase…for example, if you’re thinking about buying in the Cashiers – Highlands – Glenville – Sapphire – Lake Toxaway area, the truth is that inventory is now moving at quite a brisk rate. Think about it…Once the current inventory is gone, it’s gone!!! New inventory, as it enters the market, isn’t going to be priced the same as inventory that has been on the market as long as the recession has been in effect. If you had a house and wanted to sell it during the past 2-3 years, you know what I’m talking about. People waited and waited until most folks that needed to sell their property gave up and drastically reduced their prices just to get the property sold. When looking for Cashiers homes for sale, Merry Soellner, North Carolina licensed real estate broker can help you find your mountain dream home. Looking for Lake Toxaway homes for sale or Glenville homes and land, or Highlands homes for sale? She can help you find those special places, too.
Still Looking? Try Merry Soellner, Real Estate Broker, for Sapphire Homes for Sale, Franklin Real Estate, Brevard Homes for Sale
I think it’s safe to say that the bottom has been hit, and the deals that are out there now need to be seriously considered. Our market is not the same as other markets. We have a second home market, where a majority of people in the position of selling property don’t HAVE to sell their property. So, if you’ve been thinking about buying a home in the mountains, consider looking at Cashiers Homes for Sale, Highlands Homes for sale, Glenville Homes for Sale, Sapphire Homes for Sale and Lake Toxaway Homes for Sale!!! You’ll be glad you did! You may be thinking of Brevard homes for sale to the east of Lake Toxaway, NC , or Franklin homes off to the northwest of Highlands, NC. Merry Soellner can help you with either, because she is a member of two real estate boards: the Highlands- Cashiers board and the Asheville-Brevard board. Together, she can handle your western North Carolina real estate needs. And let’s not forget what’s in between: Sapphire homes for sale. She can help you find that special place in the middle. She actually has a listing there, right now and in other areas of WNC real estate.
