Homebuyer Tax Credit

Time is running out on the First time homebuyer and move up buyer tax credit. Deadlinese are April 30, 2010 to be under contract on the home you are purchasing and must be closed by July 1, 2010. This tax credit extends the first time homebuyer tax credit of $8000 and adds a $6500 tax credit for move up buyers. Move up buyers must have lived in their principle residence for at least 5 consecutive years of the previous 8 years. Don't miss out on this opportunity. Call me if you have any questions. 1-307-631-0333

Happy New Year

2010! Unbelievable how quick 2010 got here. Do you remember the year 2000 when we thought computers would stop working, how would they handle anything but the year starting with 1900. Well, everything was just fine and so will 2010 especially in real estate. Interest rates continue to stay low (around 5%), lenders are lending money and there is a nice inventory of homes to choose from.

Living in Cheyenne the past 30 years I have seen Cheyenne grow from small city (small compared to where I came from Rochester NY) to a still developing larger city. Cheyenne is now the home to Lowe's Distribution Center, Walmart Distribution Center, Nortrak, Sierra Trading Post and Library Journal and Gale Cengage’s 2008 Library of the Year to name just a few. We are also the future home, according to Cheyenne Leads, of The National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) working in conjunction with the University of Wyoming, uranium mining company, Cameco Corp and a coal gasification company.

I have seen Dell Range Blvd go from a 2 lane road to a 4 lane road and become the busiest road in Wyoming. All I can remember on Dell Range was the firehouse and a back road to get from the east side of Cheyenne to Yellowstone Rd. With all this growth I believe comes a better quality of life. Many of the reasons Cheyenne residents traveled to Colorado are now here in Cheyenne.

Cheyenne, what a great place to live!
