Who wants to save $18,000 on their taxes?

Eligible home in Pacific Beach

This is a brand new home located in the Pacific Beach area of San Diego.  It is just a few blocks to the beach, has great views and has all the bells and whistles.

The deal is, it is eligible for up to $18,000 in tax credits.  How?  Well, the State of California is offering up to $10,000 in tax credits for anyone purchasing a new construction property in the state.  The credits are then spread out over a 3 year period.  The only catch is that there only enough funds in the program to last through the summer so right now it is first come, first served!  This was set up to help stimulate the real estate market and move some of the new properties that were sitting on the market.  If you are considering buying a new home then don’t wait too long as the funds will not last long.

Also, if you are a first time buyer, you are also eligible for a $8,000 tax credit through the federal government.  So between the two programs, you could qualify for up to $18,000 in credits!

What is a tax credit?

Well, it is a credit that is applied directly to the taxes you owe so it is like putting money right into your pocket.  This can go a long way to helping you get into the new home that you have had your eyes on.
