Punta Gorda Real Estate

While it’s still months off, the $8,000 first time homebuyer tax credit will expire on December 1, 2009. The tax credit can be put towards almost all costs of purchasing a home, including closing costs, paying down the loan, and renovations. However, when the tax credit disappears, it will be much more costly for first time homebuyers to purchase a home. The federal government has mandated that homebuyers must have the 3.5% down payment to qualify for an FHA home loan, but once that initial down payment is acquired, the $8,000 tax credit can be used for all other costs related to purchasing a home. Now is a great time to buy while interest rates remain low, and home prices are down year over year.

Here in Punta Gorda, even some of the more prestigious lakefront and waterfront properties are now much more affordable. Burnt Store lake property, Deep Creek homes, and Punta Gorda waterfront property is likely more affordable than it ever will be again. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to own a home in scenic Punta Gorda, take advantage of the $8,000 tax credit and speak with a Punta Gorda realtor today!
