Tax Cedit Extended!

The homebuyers tax credit has been extended and is available to ALL homebuyers until June 30, 2010. Henderson Properties specializes in helping people find the perfect home at a price they can live with. We invite you to learn more by entering the door to Real Estate expertise.

Here's a few questions we've been asked in regards to the credit:

Q: Who qualifies for the tax credit?
A: The extended tax credit benefits all homebuyers. A homebuyer who has not had an interest in a principal residence for three years prior to the date of purchase can qualify for the credit or existing buyer's who have lived in their home for 5 years.
Q: How much is the credit?
A: The tax credit would be $8,000 for first time home buyers and $6500 for current homeowners.
Q: Do I have to repay the credit?
A: No. Unlike the 2008 $7,500 tax credit, the $8,000 credit does not have to be repaid. However, if the home is sold within three years of purchase, the credit will be reversed.

Nieghborhood Spotlight: Chantilly

Chantilly, which can be found between Plaze-Midwood and Elizabeth, is a quaint, quiet neighborhood that has much to offer, and is prime Charlotte real estate. These homes have aged over the years, but have the charm that can't be found anywhere else. The majority of the homes in this neighborhood are going to have 2 bedrooms and 1 bath. When these homes were constructed, this could be sufficient enough for a family of 4, but is more suitable these days for newlyweds and empty-nesters.

Chantilly homes are well constructed, typically have hardwood floors, plastered walls, and most importantly, curb appeal! The streets are lined with oak-wood trees, and the homes are comfortable. Lately, there have been several homes that have had additions, including renovated attics and additional bathrooms. The majority of the homes are about 1,500 square feet.

One of the best features of the Chantilly neighborhood is its location. These homes are within walking distance to Midwood and Elizabeth shopping districts. The Penguin, a first-class diner, is a restaurant of choice for neighborhood residents.

At a glance:
Price Range: $158,000 - $540,000
Average Price: $356,000
Average price per square foot: $204.00
Average square foot per house: 1,500
