			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On November 6, 2009, Congress extended AND expanded the Federal Homebuyer Tax Credit. So, what does that mean for you?</p>
<p>Well first of all, it means that if you are a first time homebuyer* in the market for a new home, it means you did not miss out on the chance to receive the $8,000 tax credit! You now have until May 2010 to take advantage of this incredible opportunity.*</p>
<p>Second of all, even if you are NOT a first-time homebuyer, you can now have your cake and eat it too! Repeat home buyers can receive a tax credit of up to $6500!</p>
<p>So, what are you waiting for? <a href="http://southernhomes.com/build/map.cfm" target="_blank">Let&#8217;s start shopping for your new home.</a></p>
<p>*Here are the details you need to know.</p>
<ul>
<li>The Federal Homebuyer Tax Credit is available to buyers who have not owned a principal residence in the last three years (“New Buyers”) and to buyers who have owned and lived in their principal residence for 5 consecutive years out of the last 8 years (“Repeat Buyers”).</li>
<li>The maximum credit amount is $8,000 for New Buyers and $6,500 for Repeat Buyers.</li>
<li>The tax credit is available for homes closed after November 6, 2009, and before May 1, 2010. However, home purchases subject to a binding sales contract signed by April 30, 2010, will qualify for the credit provided the closing occurs prior to July 1, 2010.</li>
<li>Homes with a purchase price of up to $800,000 qualify. The home must be used as a principal residence.</li>
<li>Single taxpayers with incomes up to $125,000 and married couples with incomes up to $225,000 qualify for the full tax credit.</li>
<li>The tax credit does not have to be repaid, unless the owner sells or stops using the home as their principal residence within three years after the purchase.</li>
</ul>
<p>For complete details on the Federal Tax Credit, please go to <a href="http://www.federalhousingtaxcredit.com/" target="_blank">www.FederalHousingTaxCredit.com</a> or the <a href="http://www.irs.gov/newsroom/article/0,,id=187935,00.html" target="_blank">IRS Website.</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Time is running out! Don&#8217;t miss your chance to get up to $8,000 back on your federal tax return when you close on a new home before November 30, 2009. This is CASH IN YOUR POCKET that you do not have to pay back.<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-15" title="tax-credit-art" src="http://staging.augustwebmedia.com/southernhomes/blog/wp-content/uploads/tax-credit-art1.jpg" alt="tax-credit-art" width="230" height="199" /></p>
<p>A first-time homebuyer is defined as a buyer who has not owned a principle residence during the three years prior to purchase. For married taxpayers, the law tests homeownership history of both the home buyer and his/her spouse.</p>
<p>At Southern Homes, we have several move-in ready homes ready to close by November 30. <a href="../company/contactus.html" target="_blank">Contact</a> a Southern Homes Builder Representative today to find out more.</p>
<p>*Federal tax credit of up to $8,000 available to first-time homebuyers who close escrow on or before November 30, 2009.  Not all buyers will qualify.  Visit <a href="http://federalhousingtaxcredit.com/2009/index.html" target="_blank">www.Federalhousingtaxcredit.com</a> for complete details.</p>
