There are several reason why now is the perfect time to buy a home in Houston, Katy, Pearland, Sugar Land and surrounding areas. The first reason is the extension of the $8,000 First Time Homebuyers tax credit. Not only has the program been extended, but the income limits have also been raised to $125,000 for individuals and $225,000 for couples filing joint tax returns. The next reason to act quickly in buying a home is because the inventory levels are falling. Many people looking to sell their homes have decided not put their homes on the market due to the widespread panic in the real estate market. In addition, builders have cut back on the number of homes being built. All of this means less of a selection and the number of months of inventory is expected to keep declining. While this might limit your selection of homes, it means positive news for the Houston real estate market which is still going strong. Real estate in Houston is still a safe place to put your money.
