This $10,000 tax credit in the state of California only applies to homes that have never been occupied and purchased between the dates of March 1, 2009 and March 1, 2010. The California home buyers must also reside in the home as their primary residence for at least 2 years from close of escrow.
A qualified home buyer is:
A taxpayer who purchases a single-family residence, whether detached or attached, that has never been occupied, that is purchased to be the principal residence of the taxpayer for a minimum of two years, and that is eligible for the homeowner’s exemption under California Revenue and Taxation Code Section 218.
A qualified principal residence – new home is:
-A qualified principal residence means a single-family residence, whether detached or attached, that has never been occupied and is purchased to be the principal residence of the taxpayer for a minimum of two years and is eligible for the property tax homeowner’s exemption.
- Types of residence: Any of the following can qualify if it is your principal residence and is subject to property tax, whether real or personal property: a single family residence, a condominium, a unit in a cooperative project, a houseboat, a manufactured home, or a mobile home.
- Owner-built property: A home constructed by an owner -taxpayer is not eligible for the New Home Credit because the home has not been “purchased.”
The State of California has set aside $100,000,000 in tax credits for new home buyers. This program is on a first come first serve basis and once the allocated new home tax credit money is gone it’s over. Make sure if your California real estate agent is unfamiliar with this tax credit you let them know about it. You should also contact your accountant. Some details include that the tax credit amount is equal to either five percent of the purchase price or $10,000, whichever is less. Taxpayers must apply the total tax credit in equal parts over 3 successive taxable years which is a maximum of $3,333 per year beginning with the taxable year of when the new home is purchased. This can also be used in addition to the $8,000 First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit in the Stimulus Package.
If you are interested in applying you will need to:
- Do the following within 7 days of close of escrow on your New California Home.
- The seller must complete Part I of Form 3528-A which is the Application for New Home Credit and certifying that the home has never been occupied as well as provide a copy to the buyer or escrow person.
- The buyer will complete Parts II & III of Form 3528-A.
- The escrow person on behalf of the seller and buyer will fax the completed Form 3528-A to FTB at 916.845.9754, and provide a copy to the buyer.
- Fax is the only delivery method that will be accepted and considered for credit allocation by FTB, as the date and time stamp on the fax will determine the order in which credits are allocated.
- Fax only one completed application per residence with all qualified buyers listed. Do not include information on nonqualified buyers. An incomplete application may delay or prevent credit allocation.
- Do not fax the application to FTB before escrow closes.
- Do not fax the application to FTB more than once. We will process the applications in the order received as quickly as possible.
- Escrow companies should only send one application per fax transmission.
- The buyer keeps a copy of the completed Form 3528-A for their records.
- The State of California Franchise Tax Board will have a fill able Form 3528-A online soon. In the meantime, if you fill out the form by hand, please print numbers as clearly and neatly as possible using CAPITAL LETTERS and staying between the lines. The faxes can be very hard to read.
For more information please visit the State of California Franchise Tax Board link.

San Diego - First Time Home Buyers Only – 8000 Dollars !
The $787,000,000,000 stimulus bill signed into law has some benefits for first time home buyers. In the bill signed by Obama there is an $8000 first time home  buyer tax credit. This $8000 amount was sized down from $15000 in the original version of the stimulus package. Here in San Diego County California and rich foreclosure environments like Chula Vista in South County San Diego welcomes this first time home buyer $8,000 tax credit incentive.
Some of the details are that the home purchased must be the first time home buyers principal residence. There is a cap of $8,000 if the purchase price is higher than $800,000. A first time home buyer in San Diego or anywhere in the U.S. would be someone who has not owned a principal residence for 3 years. This will only apply to home buyers buying in 2009 so if you’re sitting on the fence of San Diego home buyers this could be the thing that gets you down off the fence and back in the market.
There are also income limits that state single buyers need a modified adjusted gross income of $75,000 or less to qualify for full credit and $150,000 for married couples. If buyers make more income than the amounts stated they could be eligible for reduced credits. Make sure you talk to your accountant about this. The $8000 tax credit is refundable. Buyers will have to own the home for at least 3 years if they want to capitalize fully on the tax incentive. The tax credit will have to be returned to the government if they sell early. There are situations that will be exceptions to this rule.
Make sure you contact professional tax consultants for full factual information on this $8,000 First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit.

What’s the deal? There are many ways to look at foreclosures and bank owned homes in
San Diego and Chula Vista California. I have noticed some companies cramming buyers on a bus to look for deals on foreclosures and bank owned homes. Many real estate agents look at this as the most uncomfortable and ineffective way to look at foreclosures and bank owned homes.
Home buyers that are interested in buying a foreclosure in the San Diego area usually select a real estate agent that can help them find the right home in the right area in the right price range. Home buyers don’t pay an agent the seller does. It’s not any cheaper to cram on to a bus with many other buyers and compete for the same deals on homes than it is to have an agent dedicated to working with just you. Usually a day of driving around the wrong neighborhoods and looking at homes not even in their price range or not even the kind of home the buyer wants will cure a buyer of wanting to do this ever again.
Let’s just say you find a foreclosure you like and 3 other families on the deal bus want to buy it. Now you’re competing with 3 other buyers driving the price up and who’s representing who? Like I said as a buyer you don’t pay the agent the seller does. You can have excellent one on one service with a local real estate agent who will research exactly what you’re looking for and find the homes that fit that description. Then the agent will pick you up or meet you at the office and show you the homes that exactly fit your description of what you want in home. Being crammed on a bus and looking at mostly homes that don’t fit what you’re looking for is a wasted day. Your time is valued with us.
When you want to take your San Diego and Chula Vista foreclosure and bank owned home search seriously give us a call. We’re here for one on one professional experienced service for the same price, Nothing! You can either eat with your family at a fast food restaurant or eat at a fine upscale restaurant either way it will cost you the same amount of money, nothing! It would be the same as the restaurant owner paying. When buying a home the seller or the bank on a foreclosure pays the real estate agent not the buyer. Take your time and think this one out. You can have great one on one service or be crammed on a bus. What do you think the deal is?

Home buyers in San Diego are enjoying the low interest rates in 2009. Many home buyers have been sitting on the fence for quite some time and many San Diego home buyers are saying yes in 2009. During the first month of January in 2009 I have noticed an increase in buyers looking into buying a home in San Diego. With foreclosures and short sales dominating many of the areas and price ranges the pickings are ripe.
The interest rates being low allow a potential home buyer to have a lower monthly payment or buy a more expensive home. This basically means they can get more for their money or buy the same size home they have had their eye on and have a lower monthly house payment. I have worked with many San Diego first time home buyers and have found that they are amazed that they are able to buy a home at such an affordable price and such a low monthly payment. Just a couple of years ago many first time home buyers thought they were priced out of the San Diego Real Estate Market forever. Now many can buy and have a monthly payment for what they’re renting for.

There are many people buying a home in Chula Vista which is located in South Bay San  Diego County California. One of the biggest real estate booms in the country was in Chula Vista East of the 805 in the 90’s and early 2000’s. There were many beautiful master planned communities going up which included EastLake, Rolling Hills Ranch, San Miguel Ranch, Otay Ranch, Lomas Verdes, Sunbow and more. In fact EastLake was voted Best Master Planned Community in all of San Diego County for 10 years straight and still running. Must be a nice place with that kind of winning record.
Many of the home buyers buying a home in Chula Vista are AMAZED at what they can get for their money and equally AMAZED by the community itself. Chula Vista is one of the gems of Southern California and the home buyers are catching on. If you’re considering buying a home in San Diego County California make sure you have us show you around the Chula Vista Area. I think you will like it.

Fast growth comes to an end creating “The San Diego Foreclosure Boom”. The fast  growth that we saw here in Southern California and particularly San Diego has come to an end. The skyscrapers in Downtown San Diego that were forever changing the city skyline form year to year have slowed to a snails pace and the ones that are still building wish they hadn’t. The new master planned communities that allowed so many families to achieve the dream of homeownership in beautiful well thought out communities with parks and pools and brand new schools. They grew from all parts of the county from the old ranches in Chula Vista to the big movie star estates in North County Coastal and inland a ways.
Now that the fast growth is over where is the growth now? The growth has slowed and is even non existent in many areas of the county but the massive growth from recent years gone by has created another boom a more affordable boom. The San Diego Foreclosure Boom. Homes are now in some areas half the price they were only 2 years ago and the master planned communities with all the great parks and pools and schools are still there and are just as beautiful as there were then. First time home buyers are buying homes at steep discounts and families that had to short sell their homes 2 years ago are now jumping back into the market to buy again. What’s also fueling this foreclosure boom are all of the investors pulling money out of the pockets of the crooks on Wall Street and buying real estate that they truly have some control over. The San Diego Foreclosure Boom is on. Make sure you get yours before it’s over.
