Qualified service member tax credit plus price discount available now 2010

*For “qualified service member” (defined as a member of the uniformed services of the U.S. Military, a member of the Foreign Service of the U.S., or an employee of the intelligence community) who are first-time buyers (defined as US citizens who have not owned a principal residence for the preceding three years), the tax credit equals ten percent of the purchase price up to a maximum of $8,000. The $6,500 credit is available to current homeowners who have owned the same principal residence for any 5-consecutive year period during the 8-year period ending on the date of the settlement.
For married tax payers, both individuals must meet the requirements. The credit is based on the home buyer’s modified adjusted gross income (MAGI). For individuals, the full tax credit is available for MAGI below $125,000 and phased out from $125,000 to $145,000. For a married couple filing jointly, the full tax credit is available for MAGI below $225,000 and phased out from $225,000 to $245,000. The tax credit is applied against the home buyer’s tax bill or refunded in cash if the credit exceeds the home buyer’s tax liability. Qualified service members who sell or move from a tax credit home within three years of the initial purchase due to official extended duty are exempt from the recapture rule. (RULE: Credit is subject to recapture if you sell your home or use your home other than as your principal residence at any point within the 36-month period following the closing of your home).
Property must be in contract by 4/30/11 and close no later than 6/30/11. A person who is forced to return to the U.S. for medical reasons before completing an assignment of at least 90 days of “qualified official extended duty” (defined by any period of extended duty outside of United States for at least 90 days during the period beginning after December 31, 2008 and ending before May 1, 2010) outside of the United States may qualify for the one-year extension. For more information, visit www.federalhousingtaxcredit.com. Additional terms and conditions apply.
The foregoing is for informational purposes only and does not constitute tax advice. Please consult your tax advisor to determine if you qualify for the tax credit.
**Valid on new purchase by 12/31/10. Some restrictions may apply.

Canal Winchester School District from the $120s Selling Now 2010


Canal Winchester Homes & Communities: Cherry Landing
Captivated by Canal Winchester’s charm, we created Cherry Landing. Carriage and Vintage homes line the streets, with large front porches, quaint detailing inspired by the craftsman period, and more. The streetscape was designed to blend with the surrounding preservation area of Canal Winchester. Several reserves and ponds are scattered throughout and alleyways run behind some of the homes, giving access to rear-loading garages. No detail was overlooked, like brick pavers accenting the sidewalks or the old fashioned lamps that line the streets. And even though Canal Winchester feels like the quiet countryside, the commute to Columbus takes only 15 minutes.
