The weather has been just beautiful here in Onslow County NC the last several days with highs in the mid to upper 70s.   The average high temperature in Swansboro NC for the month of March is 64 and the average low is 42.     We would like to think that Spring is here to stay but according to the weatherman, there is more cold weather coming this afternoon.   

With that in mind, the little one and I headed to the new playground at the Town Park in Swansboro yesterday afternoon to enjoy the beautiful afternoon.  The playgound is designed for children age 5-12 and is a result of Swansboro's latest effort to upgrade the Town's parks.

My little one, along with the other children playing in the park,  put their stamp of approval on the new playground.   Residents of Swansboro and Hubert NC, do yourself and your kids a favor -- take them to the Town Park for some fun and good, healthy exercise.

Perhaps you are relocating to Camp LeJeune Marine base, New River Air Station or the Naval Hospital at Camp LeJeune in Jacksonville, N C or thinking of buying a home in Hubert, Richlands or Maysville, N C; if so let's talk and let me assist you with your Onslow County N C real estate needs.

*Update - The tax credit expires December 1, 2009 - not December 31st as I first reported.

There is much confusion, misunderstanding and misinformation floating around concerning the tax credit for home-buyers that is included in the economic stimulus package. 

My job is to provide information and assistance to those who are looking to buy a home in Hubert, Swansboro, Jacksonville and other areas of Onslow County, N C. 

So let's break it down.

•  Who qualifies?  The tax credit applies only to first-time home buyers and their principal residence. 

• What is a first time home buyer?  Anyone who has not owned a principal residence for three years prior to buying a home. 

•  How Much is the Tax Credit?  The tax credit is 10% of the purchase price of the home - but cannot exceed $8,000.00

• Does It Have to Be Repaid?   The tax credit does not have to be repaid (the earlier $7,500 did have to be repaid)

• Is There A Time Limit?  Yes, the tax credit is available only to those who purchase a home between January 1 and December 31, 2009  *December 1, 2009.
  

• Are there income limits?  Yes.  Single buyers must have an adjusted gross income of $75,000 or less to qualify for full credit.  Married buyers - $150,000.  However, those whose income exceed the limits may qualify for reduced credits.

• Are There Other Conditions?  Yes.  Buyers must own their home for a minimum of three years to retain the credit--if buyers sell the home in less than three years, the government will demand the full repayment of the tax credit.  (There may be some exceptions in cases of death or divorce)

If you have questions about how this tax credit can help you buy a home in Onslow County North Carolina, contact me and let's talk about it.
