Ah, to be a 'first-time' home buyer in 2009!! What a wonderful, wonderful opportunity. Did you know any person that has not owned a home in the last three years may qualify for a tax refund up to $8,000? It is true!
There are certain income limits and rules related to home occupancy but - in a nutshell - a qualified buyer could get a 10% tax refund on the purchase of a primary residence - not to exceed $8,000 maximum.
To illustrate: Purchase a $50,000 home and get $5,000 back. Purchase an $80,000 home and get the maximum of $8,000 back. Purchase a $125,000 home and receive the maximum - $8,000.
This is a great, great deal! Not certain if you qualify? Call me and we'll find out!
Take care -

A Minnesota Evening
I always enjoy visiting with folks from around the country regarding my living in Minnesota. People usually ask, 'How can you stand the winters?' It is true; winters can be a little tough sometimes. After nearly 50 years I still haven't gotten quite used to the -100 degree wind chills . . .
But seriously, one Minnesota, moon-lit evening whilst drawing warmth from a lake-side camp fire - loon-song drifting through the stillness . . . Trust me, enduring a little winter chill is WELL worth the exchange.
Minnesota summers are like nothing else - they explode on the senses. You can feel them, you can see them, you can hear them, you can taste them, and you can smell them.
Breathe deep the sweet, fragrant bouquet of fresh-cut hay whisping through a June evening. Witness the healing glow of a lake-view sunset. Nibble some fresh-picked strawberries, feel the sugar sand between your toes, and hear your own restful sigh as you discover this place - YOUR place - in the land of 10,000 lakes.
