Every year Felicia teams up with an organization and/or charity and she don
ates a portion of every sales commission to them. This year after much thought, consideration and prayer, Felicia found herself drawn to a place known as House of New Hope.
House of New Hope is statewide organization offering an array of quality, community-based services: to adults and children with intellectual and developmental disabilities; to traumatized youth with emotional, behavioral and educationally complex challenges through treatment foster care and mental health services; and to families through adoption and home study services.
Felicia truly believes that every person; young and old deserves a loving and caring home; House of New Hope does a great work and she is so blessed to be a part of it. If you are in the market to purchase or sell a home, consider using a REALTOR ® that puts others first. The purchase or sale of your next home just might help other’s find a loving and caring home. For more information on how you can give, please contact Felicia Rowe 740-398-7990 or Felicia@FeliciaRowe.com.

According to NAR (National Association of REALTORS ®) home sales are up this month compared to this time last year! To me it is very refreshing to an increase, not only through my own day to day business, but it’s great to be able to report this info to the public. I believe a lot of the increase is not only because the market is slowly rising again, but also due to the inching deadline for the Home Buyer Tax Credit. The homebuyer tax credit is basically money that the government is giving to you when you purchase a home. Some of the qualifications are below:
First time Home Buyer-
Income of $125,000 or less per year for a single buyer.
Credit is for 10% of the purchase price up to $8,000.00 dollars.
Already own a home? You can also get a tax credit as long as you have owned your home for 5 of the last 8 years as an owner occupant.
NO need to purchase a more expensive home, however you may purchase a home up to $800,000.00.
Home buyer tax credit is 10% up to $6,500.00
(other qualifying factors apply)
There are 85 days left to take advantage of the Home Buyer Tax Credit. All offers to purchase must be made and in contract by April 30, 2010. So, if you are in the market to purchase a home, I encourage you to look now. The time to buy is NOW, also protect yourself and use a licensed REALTOR.
