In addition, this new law now includes a $6500 tax credit for buyers who are current home owners and have lived in their home for five of the past eight years.
The National Association of REALTORS® has created a simple and helpful CHART that showcases the modifications – for more information, click here

Recently reported by Builder Magazine and Hanley Wood Market Intelligence, the Greater Raleigh area is now considered the sixth healthiest housing market in the country. According to this article by Boyce Thompson, “the healthiest markets have many things in common. Most of them are great places to live, either close to the ocean, mountains, or major universities. Most of them didn’t have a huge run-up in prices during the boom and aren’t experiencing rampant deflation during the bust.”
