Last month we reported on the Repeat and First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit. For many of us in Big Canoe, the $6,500 tax credit has some real advantages. This tax credit applies to those of us who have lived in our current home, five out of the last eight years on a full-time basis. If this is you, you can use this credit to move up or down. Note: you do not have to sell your current home to do so! Please pass this information on to friends and family. For more information, go to our website at www.TheBeechlerGroup.com and click on our Tax Credit Icon.
With the holidays upon us, activity has slowed, just like it does every year. Use this time to get your home in tip-top shape for the first of the year.
In closing, we would like to thank those of you who looked at our new website. Your positive comments were most appreciated.
Finally, we wish all of you a very “Merry Christmas”.
And remember, we love referrals!
Until next time,
