Look What We've Been Up To!

We just completed our newest model, The Villa. This 3 bedroom, 2 bath home is just the right size at 1372 square feet. This model sits on one of our average-sized home sites which is approximately 7500 square feet. This is country living!

I wanted to share some of the interior photos of this new Villa. I will post exterior photos in the days to come.

What's Ahead For Mortgage Rates This Week

A friend of mine in the mortgage industry sends me updates to his blog, where he posts about daily mortgage rates and financial news.

Below is today's update, which I found quite interesting. I thought it was necessary to share with others!

Mortgage markets scored big gains last week, sparked by the Federal Reserves pledge to buy $750 billion more mortgage-backed bonds in 2009. Conforming mortgage rates fell on the week, overall. But Federal Reserve intervention wasn't the only good news for rate shoppers last week. New evidence showed -- for the time being, at least -- that the U.S. economy may be reversing direction:

Homebuilders are breaking ground on new homes again http://tinyurl.com/dd2bvw
First-time jobless claims are falling http://tinyurl.com/d2pnep
Inflation is present and, therefore, deflation is not http://tinyurl.com/dyo3nq

Should the economy continue trend stronger through the summer, it will likely fuel stock market gains, drawing cash away from mortgage bonds. This would lead mortgage rates higher -- perhaps for good. Today's levels are artificially low, after all, supported by government intervention more than economic fundamentals. After the Fed's Wednesday afternoon announcement, rates fell to all-time lows before recovering sharply into the weekend on economic optimism and fears of inflation.

New Tax Credits Announced

NEW FEDERAL TAX CREDIT
See below for exciting news from http://www.federalhousingtaxcredit.com/:

"A tax credit of up to $8,000 is now available for qualified first-time home buyers purchasing a principal residence on or after January 1, 2009 and before December 1, 2009. Unlike the tax credit enacted in 2008, the new credit does not have to be repaid."

This is REAL money! Take advantage today

NEW STATE TAX CREDIT
In addition to the Federal Tax Credit, our state of California is also providing a tax break for those that purchase a NEWLY CONSTRUCTED, PREVIOUSLY UNOCCUPIED HOME

From the California Building Industry Association's website: http://tinyurl.com/bam3m8

"The Assembly passed SB 15XX by Sen. Roy Ashburn, R-Bakersfield, which establishes a tax credit of $10,000 or 5 percent of the purchase price of a newly built home sold between March 1 of this year and March 2010, or when funding is exhausted, whichever comes first."

New home prices have been cut nearly in half, interest rates are at their lowest levels in years, and the government has stepped up with REAL tax credits!

NOW IS THE TIME TO BUY
