$18,000 in Tax Credits for a Limited Time!

California and Federal Tax Credits

California home Tax Credit, CA home tax creditClovis home buyers have a brief window of opportunity to receive up to $18,000 in combined federal and California home-buyer tax credits.  To take advantage of both tax credits, a first-time home-buyer must enter into a purchase contract for a principal residence before May 1, 2010, and close escrow between May 1, 2010 and June 30, 2010, inclusive.  Buyers who are not first-time home-buyers may use the same time-frames to receive up to $16,500 in combined tax credits if they are long-time residents of their existing homes as permitted under federal law, and they purchase properties that have never been previously occupied as provided under California law.

Clovis Real Estate Market Data

Clovis Real Estate Market ReportIf you’re looking to buy or sell a Clovis home in 2010 you undoubtedly have read or heard a lot about the Clovis real estate market.  It’s no secret that Clovis homes have fallen in value over the past several years.  So should you continue to wait to sell or buy a Clovis home, or is the worst over?   Rather than give you our professional opinion this time, we thought we’d present you with some housing facts and let you be the judge.

Sold homes in Fresno County the last 5 years:

  • 2010:             ?
  • 2009:         9,328
  • 2008:         6,781
  • 2007:         4,865
  • 2006:         6,503
  • 2005:         8,997

As the data above indicates, when the market was at its peak in 2005 — nearly 9000 homes were sold in Fresno County. Back then, if a Clovis home was listed it pretty much sold.  Surprisingly, despite the recent real estate woes in Clovis and Fresno, in 2009 more homes were sold than when the market was at its peak.  In fact, buying Clovis homes priced under $250,000 is increasingly difficult because of the competition from investors and other Clovis buyers (we wrote about this in our article:  Clovis Foreclosures – Why They’re Selling So Fast).  In other words, the number of sold Clovis homes in 2009 and Fresno County is overwhelming evidence that if Clovis homes are priced right, they will sell. What this data doesn’t show, however, is that while Clovis homes sales are strong, Clovis home prices continue to fall. Read the rest of this entry »
