 The Worker, Homeownership, and Business Assistance Act of 2009 has extended the tax credit of up to $8,000 for qualified first-time home buyers purchasing a principal residence. It also authorized a tax credit of up to $6,500 for qualified repeat home buyers.
The following are frequently asked questions and important information that prospective home buyers should be aware of when considering a home purchase under this tax credit program.

 Recently the President signed new legislation, the Worker, Homeownership, and Business Assistance Act of 2009. This new law extends the home buyer tax credit and expands it to some current homeowners. This law is not only an important step to keep the momentum going towards ensuring a real estate recovery, but also offers another great reason for buyers to purchase and sellers to list a home before Spring 2010!
We believe the substantial rise in home sales over the past few months will continue, and proves the tax credit is working and is being used by buyers who were waiting for the right opportunity to purchase a home. Extending and expanding the home buyer tax credit now enables even more families to take advantage of current low interest rates, large housing inventories, and affordable prices to invest in their future through homeownership.

 CAMDEN – Lessard Builders Inc. (LBI) will host two free Saturday Seminars on consecutive weekends in Kent and Sussex counties, designed to educate the public on the characteristics of a healthy home.
The seminars are titled What makes a home healthy: What homebuyers should know before they buy. They will include short presentations from industry experts on building, insulation, heating and cooling, Energy Star certification, and information on the lending industry. “These free events are a must for anyone in the market in the next two years for a new or existing home,” said Brian Lessard, president of Camden-based LBI. “Home construction techniques are constantly improving. Our focus is not to sell anything but to educate consumers on the greatest investment most people make.”

 Rehoboth Beach, Delaware featured as one of the best places to retire by AARP – The Magazine (July 2006)
Two years before they planned to retire, Sonja and Hoyte Decker settled on the Delaware coast as their retirement destination. Living in Chevy Chase, Maryland, near where Hoyte worked for the U.S. Department of Transportation, the two had been spending weekends and vacations on the sandy beaches of the Maryland and Delaware shores for years. But they liked friendly little Rehoboth Beach best of all. Just three hours from friends and their daughter in Washington, D.C., it was also reasonably close to Hoyte’s two children from a previous marriage.
But finding their retirement house was challenging: Rehoboth Beach itself is only about one square mile, with fewer than 1,500 full-time residents. Housing costs—as in many beach communities—were sky-high. “Houses were just too expensive, even in the late 1990s,” says Hoyte, 65, “or else they were just small cottages, or they weren’t winterized. We decided against buying an existing home. We had retired without a mortgage—that had always been our goal. And we wanted to keep it that way,” he says.
