Real Estate Market on the Rise
December 3, 2009 – According to MLS data compiled by the Real Estate Center at Texas A&M University, there was a 15 percent increase in home sales in October 2009 compared to October 2008.
The median price rose 1 percent to $143,300 during the same period, and the state finished the month with a 6.9-month inventory of existing homes.
With this rise in home sales, this is great news for the Real Estate Market. The increase could be contributed to the First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit, which has been extended to April 30, 2010.

Tax Credit Extended
November 6, 2009 by dwhite · Leave a Comment
It is official. President Obama has signed the Homebuyer Tax Credit today and extended the benefits. The new extension allows homebuyers to be under contract by April 30th and close on the house by June 30, 2010.
The housing tax credit portion of the bill extends the $8,000 tax credit for home buyers who are purchasing their first home from the current November 30 deadline and expands the program to offer a credit of $6,500 to other homeowners who have lived in their current home for at least five years and are seeking to relocate.
Another modification to the original legislation raises the income limits for program participation from $75,000 for a single purchaser to $125,000 and from $125,000 to $225,000 for a couple.
This is great news for first time home buyers and people who are looking to relocate.

Texas Cash Out
November 3, 2009 by dwhite · Leave a Comment
Texas Cash Out
Home equity loans are a particular form of home mortgage which enable a homeowner to convert the equity in his home into cash by borrowing money secured by a lien on his homestead. The word “equity” means the difference between the fair market value of your home and the total of all the debts against it.
You can take cash out for many reasons, home improvement, debt consolidation, vacation funds or just extra cash on hand.
Texas cash out loans have some of the strictest guidelines available. Homestead owner-occupied properties can have an LTV no higher than 80% and the homeowner must have a 12-day waiting period before closing.
Cash out loans frequently allow consumers to save money by paying off higher interest rate debts with the proceeds from their refinance
Rates on cash out home loans are typically much lower than those on credit cards and other types of consumer debt.
By taking a cash out loan to pay off credit cards or other debt, you may be able to write off the interest on your taxes. You should talk with your tax advisor for more specific details.
Need money for College? Refinance your home now and fund your child’s education while reaping the tax benefits.
The holidays are nearing and your short on cash. You can do a cash-out refi instead of using credit cards and you will enjoy a lower rate and payment.
There is no better way than to combine all of your non-deductible debt and turning is to all deductible. This is also a great way to free up cash for investing.
