California: Some Home Buyers Get New State Tax Credit

Lennar — Thu, 01 Apr 2010 14:00:40 +0000

Source: San Francisco Chronicle | March 27, 2010

Cash-starved California just came up with $200 million more to throw at the housing market. On Thursday, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger enthusiastically signed a bill that will award an estimated $200 million in state income tax credits to people who buy a home starting May 1. The credit is worth up to $10,000, spread evenly over three years. The new bill will cost the state more than twice as much as last year’s home buyer credit. Last year’s credit was also worth up to $10,000 spread over three years but applied only to new homes, not existing ones. The credits, which were allocated on a first come, first served basis, ran out in less than four months, and the Franchise Tax Board stopped awarding them July 2. To get the new credit, first-time buyers can purchase a new or existing home. People who are not first-time buyers can get the credit if they buy a newly built home, but not an existing one.

Lennar is Wrapping Up Their Best Deals for the Holidays at Several New Homes Throughout Sacramento

Lennar — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 20:18:14 +0000

Now homebuyers have the opportunity to celebrate the holidays with family and friends living in style in their brand-new Lennar home. Lennar has several homes that are ready to close in December at several communities throughout Sacramento and are move-in ready, just in time for the holidays!

“We are extremely focused on selling our remaining inventory homes by year-end,” said Laura Stickelman, Sales Manager for Lennar Sacramento. “That is why we have significantly slashed prices on many of our new homes allowing buyers even a better chance of moving into their new home before the holidays.”

Now is also the time to take advantage of the homebuyer federal tax credit of up to $8,000 for first-time homebuyers and up to $6,500 for existing homeowners, on their new Lennar home. Buyers can still get the tax credit if they have owned and lived in their current home for five consecutive years. Homebuyers should also know that tax credits are subject to eligibility requirements; therefore they should consult with their tax advisor as tax laws are subject to change.

“This month will be crucial for buyers who have been anxious to buy a new home. With the housing market stabilizing, homebuyers can feel secure in purchasing their brand new home. We encourage all buyers to purchase now before the incentives and selections start to diminish,” stated Stickelman. “With these favorable market conditions, buyers can’t afford not to buy right now.”

In Roseville’s WestPark, seven homes are still available and can close by the end of December at Sentiero, Arbor Grove, Walkabout and Ironcrest at Fiddyment Farm. These single-family homes range from approximately 1,749 to 2,768 square feet and are priced from the high $200,000’s.

In Rancho Cordova at Kavala Ranch, there are only seven homes currently available at Andravida, Verano and Cazadero that can close by the end of December, which range from approximately 1,463 to 2,768 square feet and start in the mid $200,000’s.

Additionally, all of Lennar’s Sacramento-area homes are built with a solar electric system, converting sunlight into renewable energy. Combining the solar-powered systems with some of today’s most innovative energy-efficient products and materials, Lennar’s solar homes help reduce electricity costs, preserve the environment, and create energy independence. In addition to the solar electric system, all of Lennar’s homes come with top-notch amenities such as stainless steel appliances, granite slab kitchen countertops, upgraded Birch or Beechwood cabinetry throughout the home, 12 x 12 tile in the kitchen, nook and bathrooms, plus beautiful front yard landscaping.

Sales Pavilions are open this weekend from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. For a complete list of communities in Sacramento, call (866) 823-6722 or visit http://www.lennarsacramento.com/. Certain conditions apply on the move-in specials and the closing date guarantee. Please visit a Lennar Sales Pavilion for further details.

Tax Credit Extended Into 2010 And Expanded To Include More Homebuyers

Lennar — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 14:00:15 +0000

Tax Credit Extended and Expanded!

On November 6th, President Barack Obama signed the Worker, Homeownership and Business Assistance Act of 2009 into law, extending and expanding the homebuyer tax credit that was previously scheduled to expire at the end of November. No longer just a tax credit for first-time homebuyers, the new legislation also provides a tax credit to existing homeowners as well. Here are some of the details you should know.

• The deadline for first-time homebuyers to take advantage of the up to $8,000 tax credit is now extended to cover home purchases that close by April 30th, 2010.

• If a home is under contract on April 30th, the tax credit deadline for the closing is extended further, to June 30th, 2010.

• Existing homeowners can now also qualify for a tax credit of up to $6,500, provided that the buyer has owned their principal residence for at least five consecutive years during the last eight years prior to the new home purchase.

• The new law increases the income limitation for individual taxpayers who want to claim the credit, from $75,000 to $125,000. The income limit for joint filers increases from $150,000 to $225,000.

• The new legislation allows homebuyers to cash in on their tax credit in advance. Homebuyers can claim the credit for a 2009 home purchase on their 2008 tax return, and the credit for a 2010 home purchase can be claimed on a 2009 return.

• Military service members on extended duty outside the United States have one extra year to close on their new home and still take advantage of the tax credit, with a closing deadline of April 30th, 2011.

• Lennar has designated a select number of homes available for immediate move-in that can qualify for these newly extended and expanded tax credits.

You May Qualify For A Home-Buyer Tax Credit

Lennar — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 14:00:57 +0000

Millions of additional people may be able to take advantage of the new and improved first-time home-buyer tax credit now, and it’s not just for first-time home buyers anymore. You may qualify. President Obama signed legislation Friday to extend unemployment benefits to American workers. The law also includes provisions that vastly expand the number of people eligible for home-buyer credits by boosting the income eligibility limits, giving buyers more time, creating a $6,500 credit for longtime homeowners and launching more-accommodating rules for members of the military. If you were locked out of the first-time home-buyer credit in the past simply because you earned too much, there’s good news. [Read this article]

It Is Time To ‘Start Living’ And Get Moving Into Your Lennar Sacramento Dream Home Today

Lennar — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 14:00:19 +0000

Now is just the right time for homebuyers to “start living” and get moving into a brand-new Lennar home in Sacramento. Throughout September, Lennar is offering homebuyers a perfect combination of offers too good to pass up: incredibly low pricing, competitive financing and a last chance to take advantage of a federal tax credit worth up to $8,000.

“Now is the time to start living in a new solar home by Lennar. The combination of offers on our homes, low interest rates and a federal tax credit for first-time homebuyers, creates an exceptional homebuying opportunity!” said Laura Stickelman, Vice President Sales Manager for Lennar Sacramento. “We are providing customers with many choices in new home styles, locations and price ranges that include a wide array of elegant features and incredible financing programs designed to help buyers stop waiting and start living in the home of their dreams.”

Homebuyers can have a brand new, amenity-rich, solar-powered home in an excellent community without the trouble sometimes associated with purchasing a bank-owned home. And with incredible financing through Lennar’s preferred lender, Universal American Mortgage Company of California interest rates that many new homebuilders and their lending partners can’t match.

Homebuyers can choose from low interest rates such as 4.5% fixed for life (5.0% APR) from Universal American Mortgage Company of California, Lennar’s preferred lender or a special move-in package that includes free backyard landscaping and window coverings, available on select homes that close by October 30, 2009.

Additionally, Lennar’s special limited-time offers can be combined with a federal tax credit for all homebuyers who haven’t owned a home in the past three years. The tax credit is worth 10% of the purchase price, for up to $8,000. However, homebuyers must act quickly as the federal tax credit has only been approved until November 30, 2009 and there are no guarantees that it will be extended.

According to Stickelman, not only does the credit cut your tax bill, but also the credit will be refunded if the buyer doesn’t owe $8,000 in taxes.

“With our incredible top-quality homes, it is no surprise that we have seen a recent rise in sales throughout the past few months,” said Stickelman. “The increase in the number of highly-qualified homebuyers who have contacted Lennar in the past few weeks is a testament to the unbeatable value of our homes and we are absolutely delighted that so many homebuyers trust Lennar to build their home.”

With 9 communities across the Sacramento area, Lennar offers homebuyers many floor plans to choose from at prices that best meet their needs. Several homes are now available for immediate move-in, including homes in Andravida and Verano at Kavala Ranch, in Rancho Cordova. Walkabout and Ironcrest in Roseville’s WestPark community have homes available for September closings and several other homes are available for October move-ins, giving buyers plenty of opportunities to benefit from the competitive financing opportunities or the special move-in package.

Homebuyers are encouraged to tour one of Lennar’s Sacramento solar homes and see why Lennar homes are the perfect place to start living the life you deserve. Sales Pavilions, located at Kavala Ranch in Rancho Cordova, WestPark in Roseville and Blackstone in El Dorado Hills, are open this weekend from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. For a complete list of communities in Sacramento as well as information on immediate move-in homes, call (866) 417-8471 or visit http://www.lennarsacramento.com/.
