Now is even a better time to buy a home in Washington State! First Time home buyers now have until April 30, 2009 to have a signed around purchase and sale agreement for their first home and be eligible for up to an 8,000 dollar tax credit.
The buyer also has a 60 day grace period to complete their financing. So that means you could be in your first home anywhere between the first snowfall in Pullman to our wonderful 4th of July celebration in Sunnyside Park!
And now more first time home buyers qualify! The annual income qualifications have also risen to 75,000 to 125,000 for singles and 150,000 to 225,000 for married couples! That is great news for first time home buyers!
And don’t feel left out if you currently own a home. Now with the expanded tax credit it current home owners may also qualify for a tax credit up to 6,500! They too must purchase by April 30, 2010. And to qualify they must of lived in their current home for 5 consecutive years over the 8 previous years to qualify. The home must be $800,000 or less…. and be their primary residence between November 7, 2009 and April 30, 2010. Income limits are the same as for the first time home buyers…75,000 to 125,000 for singles and 150,000 to 225,000 for married couples!
Rates are still great. I was speaking with a loan officer today and it is still possible for home buyers to get into a home for as little as 3 1/2 percent down! What a great time to buy that Washington home whether you are a first time home buyer or current home owner thinking about a new home.
Call me and let’s see what we can do to get you into that your own piece of the American Dream in Pullman Washington that you can call “Home Sweet Home.”

I had the great privilege of serving one of our service woman who serves our great country. On Memorial Day weekend we looked at several homes that had been pre-selected by her Mom, a wonderful lady and new found friend. When her daughter arrived I was floored by this special hero. We began our refined search and by the end of the day we were back writing an offer! It really marked a special Memorial Day both for me and this very special first time home buyer! I truly can’t say who was more excited! My buyer, her Mom or me!!! I really hated to see them leave after the weekend…but then over the 4th of July Weekend we did our walk-through! 
Somehow it was all so fitting!!! 
This 4th of July the fireworks from our local celebration at Sunnyside park were spectacular as always. Enjoy the above picture courtesy of Mark & Eric Tetzlaff of one of our previous community celebrations! We are fortunate to be a part of such a great community whereby we can gather for great community events as these.
