Hello Wisconsin! Like so many people out there, I decided I needed a new place; consulted a professional, found a great address; and moved in. No word yet on when I will have my blog-warming party.
Now down to business.
Listening to the radio or watching TV, certain words have crept into our everyday conversations: social media, the economy and home tax credit. Lucky for you, Joe and the WRA team can talk about all three – wait for it – simultaneously. I know it sounds ambitious in our inaugural blog post. Trust me, it’s worth it.
First off, we want everyone to know about the opportunities out there so we Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and blog. (That’s Tweetbooktubeblogging for the layman.) But we are also spreading the tax credit message in other social sites, so keep coming back for updates. You want to visit us right now, don’t you?
I don’t blame you.
Find me on Twitter @JoeTheHomeBuyer , and on Facebook.
Now that we have item number one taken care of, let’s talk tax credit. Plain and simple, it’s a way for Wisconsin homebuyers to leave 2009 strong and meet 2010 even stronger.
The basics (from the National Association of Realtors):
- Extends the First-Time Home Buyer Tax Credit of up to $8,000 to first-time home buyers until April 30, 2010.
- Expands the credit to grant up to $6,500 credit to current home owners purchasing a new or existing home between November 7, 2009 and April 30, 2010.
And that’s the first post, folks. We will be delving into the details of tax credit more in depth in the next post.
I still need to unpack, and buy a mouse pad to bring the whole space together.
Happy Homebuying,
Joe
